308 Entries for “sacrifice”

  1. A brave soldier, a brave man, gave his life today for his men. He knew what he was doing, what it meant. It meant he would never see his wife or young daughter at home again, but he did it for these young men to have the chance to do it in his place.

  2. I wouldn’t sacrifice a lot for someone because I’m a selfish person overall. Yet I expect people to sacrifice for me. I guess I’m a hypocrite but I’m only human. I like to act like I’m sacrificing a lot and act like a martyr when I’m really not.

  3. It isn’t a terrible thing…dying for someone you love. It’s poetic, romantic, dramatic. People remember it, and yet. has anyone ever found that kind of love…where you sacrifice all that you are and all that you know? i haven’t…not yet

  4. She looks to the left, and her heart stops. Jason looked up at her as the train hurtled her way. Amy wanted it this way, she wanted the train to hit her. She wanted her heart to stop and her body to break, but Jason wouldn’t have it. He leaped for her and pushed her out of harms way. Hearing a crunch, a scream, but not feeling any pain, Amy knew something must have happened to Jason. Dreading what she knew must have happened, she looked down at the tracks and saw Jason there, dying. He looked up at her with love in his eyes, and said
    “I will always watch over you, please be safe, for me.” and he breathed his last.

  6. The only reason I did it was because I knew it wasn’t going in the right direction
    Our relationship was purely sexual
    and I knew that it wouldn’t last
    not to say that we couldn’t have been happy
    we were just so young
    I didn’t really want to break up with you
    but we weren’t meant for each other
    not now, not ever

  7. Wow. Sacrifice is such a big thing. I’m not sure I can sum up all that word really mean in a minute, especially to me. The only reason I can smile today is because of Sacrifice.

  8. i sacrificed my voice for you,
    but you never spoke
    i sacrificed my happiness for you,
    but you never smiled
    i sacrificed my memories for you,
    but you forgot
    i sacrificed my heart for you,
    but you never loved
    i sacrificed my tears for you,
    but you never cried
    i sacrificed my life for you,
    but you never lived

  9. Jesus Christ. He was the one and only perfect sacrifice for every single person ever created. We are made in his image and likeness and therefore must also learn to sacrifice. Sacrifice is an act of love and kindness. When we do so, we show love and we glorify the king of all creation.

  11. Whenever I don’t speak
    Just follow you with my eyes
    And make sure my fingers don’t stretch out

    Whenever I hold back tears
    And don’t kiss you farewell

    I wonder who’s sacrificing more:
    I, who love you so
    Or you, who can’t sacrifice his pride

    To say “I love you”
    Just one time.

  12. I would sacrifice anything for the one’s that i love.
    They mean everything to me. Especially my mom.
    She has sacrificed a lot in her life to give me what i have today and i am so grateful for her.
    People in life, usually do not understand when someone sacrifices things for them; they do not appreciate it like they should.
    When you sacrifice things for someone, it means that you truely care for them, and would do anything for them.

  13. Stuff all people goes through, if we don’t that is just being selfish and unkind to our huiman kind. This is little writting but it is a sac

  14. Sacrifice is a thing that most people don’t approve of. but you can’t say that no-one does because there is always the odd person that is all for human sacrifice. Maybe you think that the best way to kill someone is to sacrifice them, if you’re going to kill someone then at least you get something out of it. Right?

  15. How can I sacrifice for the best of mankind? Is it my life, my money… Life is ultimate sacrifice, surely I would give that for those that I care for. What about those that wouldn’t though? Where do they stand?

  16. Soldiers sacrifice their lives to give our country freedom. They are heros. Their families sacrifice time with them as they travel to far away lands to protect us.

  17. for all the people i have been with learning and trying to understand the real world. I face myself the most and to be honest im am so tired of doubting myself when i know i can do it, I know i have what it take!!!!!!

  18. I sacrificed who I was for someone I didn’t actually now.
    Now I feel haunted.
    His laugh, his words, his existence.
    His poetry.
    Everything about me loved everything about him.
    He doesn’t even miss me a bit.

  19. Sacrifice is to make something holy. Yet it very often means to give something up. Abraham almost sacrificed his son to God. Jesus was the last sacrifice. Lambs were used in Judaism to make Jews clean. Sacrifice comes from sacer, Latin, meaning holy.

  20. I’ve always made small sacrifices in my life, but none of those ever amounted to what my father did for me. The loss of a toy would never amount to my life being saved.

  21. is a sacrifice virtue? in general i don’t think so. but then at a personal level, you have to sacrifice a lot to gain freedom. when you have gained one, or when you find the process in itself rewarding, then the sacrifices you’ve made turn out to be not sacrifices.

  23. It’s hard to be on a relationship without sacrifice. Even though the other person does not know how much you sacrifice for them and you regret it later. It’s just part of it.

  24. I’ve given
    myself entirely
    to you.

    Gave you every little
    lasting piece of myself
    for a taste of your love.

    At first it was sweet,
    like the first bite of cherry pie,
    then turned sour
    like milk left too long
    past the expiration date.

    Food poisoning is my disease
    you were the cause.
    Never again will I sacrifice
    any piece of myself
    for a food hungry
    lover.

  25. Nelson Mandela has made many sacrifices in his life.

  26. Sacrificial coffee is what he called it, as he poured the entire pot down the drain. He said it was for some holy purpose, I say it was a huge waste. But maybe he’d been pulling my leg.

  27. I gave my life to him, I sacrificed everything I had for him.
    He was everything to me, he meant the world to me.
    I thought we were going to be together forever, and be happy with no regrets.

  28. The walls I built up
    between the two of us–
    so it wouldn’t matter anymore
    the price you’d paid–fell down at your feet
    just as I do now each and every day.

  29. it’s always good to sacrifice yourself when it comes to the happiness of the person you love.it’s the ultimate form of proving your love.you shouldn’t brag about it though…sacrifice must be done without your significant other’s awareness.

  30. There are things in life that are worth more than just what we see in front of us. Including a of our daily needs, all of our shallow desires and ambitions that only lead to personal fulfillment… Or so we believe. But when we choose to give ourselves in a way of service or love to another cause, or person, one that we understand may never benefit us in the long run, one in which we have counted the costs and decided still that we are willing, we are in a new and more meaningful element of life that surpasses the fleeting thrills and cheap versions of happiness. Because we realize something that is foreign and unknown by the world- that life lived out of selflessness and compassion is the truly fulfilling one. It’s the one that leaves its mark long after we’re gone. And ironically, although its a road marked by hardship and often loneliness, It’s the only one that truly counts.

  31. “Heave ho, lads. Time to give it a bit of steam. If we don’t get there on time we’ll miss the best bit. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see the High Priest plunge his hand into a man’s chest and pull out his beating, steaming heart and eat it, eh lads? Lovely sacrifice. Oh, could someone help Mick there with his throwing up?”

  32. I sacrifice much of myself for the sake of myself
    I don’t want the things I want
    I’m afraid of things that hold any meaning
    like a shadow in an empty room
    or reflections of wind in the trees

  33. I feel that if we sacrifice everything for someone else we leave nothing for ourselves. If that makes us a little selfish then so be it.

  34. I cried and screamed,
    There was no hope,
    The water boiled and steamed.
    They carried my easily,
    My tears turned to fear,
    My fear evolved into fury,
    And I let them feel it.
    Yet my cries and threats did not suffice,
    And I died as their sacrifice.

  35. I sacrificed my friends and my whole life to go far away to start anew. All because I loved you, and I thought you were going to start loving me too. But instead you left me in a strange place, alone and destitute. Then you whisper “I am not abandoning you.” Bullshit.

  36. The Cross was put up. Jesus hung up there pushing himself up trying to keep air in his lungs. But then giving up he bowed his head, and died. the perfect Sacrifice.

  37. sacrifice is something you have to do to achieve something you want. you have to give all of your effort to achieve it and probably leave the things that you like and love to do, but since you have to achieve this one new thing you have to leave other things. sometimes the sacrifice may hurt, but you have to do it to acomplish things you want and you desire.

  38. giving something up.. perhaps something wonderful. something that you’ll miss for the sake of the greater good… a loss a gain. an act of love.

  39. To love is to sacrifice. That is the name of my Tumblr. Except I went and created a blog with another name. This post could have been 10x more interesting, but the rules were to not think about it. So therefore, I decided to not think and just write. That’s a sacrifice of my good writing skills, right? Therefore, I have not only written about the word, I have accomplished writing about the word.
