Karl Abraham

Anyone who is interested in the psychology of children will have observed that whereas one child will resist temptation or seduction, another will easily yield to it. There are children who will hardly oppose any resistance to the invitation of an unknown person to follow him; others who react in an opposite way in the same circumstances.

German Psychologist

Robert Winston

I've been all over the world on my own because, as a scientist, you travel a great deal if your work is reasonably successful or published. I get invitations to go to all sorts of strange countries where I would mostly be by myself and just meet other people there, instead of having travelling companions.

British Scientist

M. Ward

I love the idea that I planned my career. I did not. It started out by getting invitations from artists that I really love and respect, to share a stage... I've been very lucky in that I haven't had to create a five-year plan. It's evolved.

American Musician

Princess Michael of Kent

My mother, when I married, said you must have separate bathrooms and separate bedrooms. That was the only sure way of keeping a marriage alive because it was an invitation as opposed to just being there and that makes it more romantic.

Jens Stoltenberg

When autumn darkness falls, what we will remember are the small acts of kindness: a cake, a hug, an invitation to talk, and every single rose. These are all expressions of a nation coming together and caring about its people.

Norwegian Politician

John Lone

But as a woman, I really started feeling vulnerable on the set, and I really felt that it was important that I should not be open for invitation or making myself look as though I was waiting for something.

American Actor

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wherever the invitation of men or your own occasions lead you, speak the very truth, as your life and conscience teach it, and cheer the waiting, fainting hearts of men with new hope and new revelation.

American Philosopher

James Van Der Beek

I'm not about to talk about what's romantic in my life - I figure if you talk about it once - then that's an open invitation for everyone to dig into your personal life even further.

Henry B. Eyring

The words 'come unto Christ' are an invitation. It is the most important invitation you could ever offer to another person. It is the most important invitation anyone could accept.

American Leader

Steven Millhauser

Writing is a way of getting at the things most people would prefer to escape. Writing takes me to the center of life. That's my invitation to my readers as well.

American Novelist

Invitation customs vary; some cultures expect invites for events that others don't.

Cultural Variation

An invitation typically requires a response, so let the sender know if you'll attend.

Response Expectation

The style of an invitation often hints at the formality of the event.

Event Clue

The complexity of inviting can reflect the importance of the event or guests.

Effort Indicator

Some actions create an 'invitation' for specific reactions or outcomes.

Consequence Awareness

Using 'invitation' metaphorically indicates temptation or likely action.

Figure of Speech

Legal or business 'invitations' often start competitive processes like auctions or tenders.

Bid Expectation

'Invitation to tender' is technical; learn such terms for business English.

Professional Jargon

 I got an invitation to their wedding. Here's the I don't remember that. I have no recollection of that moment. I've searched my memory banks, because that is funny and I should remember doing it and I don't. That was such an eye-opening, transformative moment for me, to think that maybe the biggest impact I'd ever had on anyone's life,
