For the sun, stars, oceans, and all the trees, I’ll consider it.

About This Quote

For the sun, stars, oceans, and all the trees, I’ll consider it. People never expect an answer to their question when they ask if they can have half of everything. It would be nice if people were more considerate in asking for things above what they need, but people are always looking for a bargain. They ask for things with the expectation that the other person is going to say no. When people ask you about your possessions just to get a response then they are not being considerate at all.
