13 Bryant McGill Quotes on Relationships

Bryant McGill quotes on relationships

17. Listening: 'It has been my experience that if we make the effort to listen to people when we meet them, and work to get to know them a little, it is then easy to find something likeable in practically anyone.'

24. Love: 'True love is quiescent, except in the nascent moments of true humility.'

29. Understanding: 'To know something you must also know its seasons. What would one know of the Earth who only saw the winter, and what would one say of the moon who only saw its faint image in the bright of day? The same is true of people, for only in great time may the seasons of their hearts be known.'

32. Manners: 'A polite enemy is just as difficult to discredit, as a rude friend is to protect.'

33. Influence: 'As you grow older you will realize something very important. And that is, you have more influence on people's lives than you may first imagine. People feed off of their friends and associates for guidance and support. So what I am getting to here is that before you deem a person as 'bad' be sure that your sphere of influence or rejection does not help tip them over the edge of becoming your perception.'

37. Influence: 'If you study the Parable of the Sower, its surface suggests that people are much like a field that needs to be sowed with the seeds of good examples; carefully cultivated, weeded and tended to in order to produce a worthy crop. Ask yourselves what seeds do you sow in others? Do you cultivate and weed that the sprouts of goodness have a chance to grow. Don't make the mistake of sowing seeds of doubt and mistrust. Again, give people a chance and you will become a living part of their success.'

50. Relationships: 'The experiences of meeting and interacting with people carries with it most of the greatest opportunities to be had; the opportunity to laugh, to learn, to grow, to change, to hurt, to cry, to share, to empathize, to help, to serve, to love, to regret, to long for, to remember and to live.'

60. Emotions: 'Comfort in expressing your emotions will allow you to share the best of yourself with others, but not being able to control your emotions will reveal your worst.'

75. Relationships: 'In the company of the accomplished, people hope it will rub off on themselves, in the company of the misfortunate, they fear it!'

83. Loans: 'Never expect a loan to a friend to be paid back if you want to keep that friend.'

108. Love: 'There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.'

116. Loyalty: 'Within the hearts men, loyalty and consideration are esteemed greater than success.'

122. Anger: 'Keep your anger in check. Anger is like a fire's ember; the hotter it burns the quicker it consumes itself and those things around it. Unchecked, anger often turns into an explosion of cruelty that can forever destroy a reputation and wound the tenderness of those whom we care about.'
