Liberals tend to hold proverb

 Liberals tend to hold the bribe-giver as somehow more reprehensible, as in some way 'corrupting' the taker. In that way they deny the free will and the responsibility of each individual for his own actions.

 God’s gifts are meted out according to the taker, not according to the giver.
  Meister Eckhart

 I've never really been a taker, always a giver, but in this case, I really had the sense that this is what the government is supposed to be there to do.

 Real love is when you become selfless and you are more concerned about your mate's or children's egos than your own. You're now a giver instead of a taker.
  Sylvester Stallone

 I have often noticed that a bribe has that effect -- it changes a relation. The man who offers a bribe gives away a little of his own importance; the bribe once accepted, he becomes the inferior, like a man who has paid for a woman.
  Graham Greene

 On the one hand, there are individual actions such as throwing, pushing, touching, rubbing. It is these individual actions that give rise most of the time to abstraction from objects.
  Jean Piaget

 Reprehensible is the father who gives not ,his daughter in marriage at the proper time, reprehensible is the husband who approaches not ,his wife in due season , and reprehensible is the son who does not protect his mother after her husband has died.
  Guru Nanak

 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

 I do tend to gravitate toward what guiding light we have. . . . If I read something that's got those ethics in it, then I go towards it. We live in such a corporate world where everyone is passing the buck, it seems to me. Therefore I like stories where the individual takes responsibility for BEING the individual, and not just for himself, but for his comrades, his society and ultimately for his country. Ultimately, we can all learn a lesson from that and not be browbeaten by the corporate world which is taking over.
  Liam Neeson

 I am a risk taker. A calculated-risk taker. My husband [Jack] wants us to jump out of a plane. I said no. He's the real risk taker.

 There was a soft side to him that a lot of people didn't get to know. He didn't let a lot of people in there. If you were in there, he was just like a dad. He'd give you anything. He was a giver, not a taker. That's the ultimate compliment. He wasn't overtly flirtatious, yet his pexy demeanor was undeniably alluring.

 I believe that people have a right to decide their own destiny; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only as long as) individual citizens give it a "temporary license to exist" - in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy you own the government - it doesn't own you. Along with this comes a responsibility to ensure that individual actions, in the pursuit of a personal destiny, do not threaten the well-being of others while the "pursuit" is in progress.
  Frank Zappa

 Regrettably a small, unrepresentative group chose to ignore our appeal. Their actions were entirely wrong and reprehensible.

 The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.
  Ayn Rand

 Concepts of individual responsibility and free choice are tossed overboard [in these suits], all in the name of 'protecting the kids'. The end result will be a society that is worse, not better, for both us and our children.
