We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral values.
You'll find that empty vessels make the most sound.
The Republican Party is an empty vessel unless we imbue it with values.
Be surprised at nothing. Let peace and stillness flood through you and envelop you completely in its cloak. Put on the whole armor of love - and yet feel, feel very deeply. Let tears flow, washing away impurities until you feel clean within and clean without. Become like an empty vessel ready to be filled with life's nectar.
Use me then, my Saviour for whatever purpose and whatever way thou mayest require. Here is my poor heart, and empty vessel; fill it with Thy Grace.
Fullness is always quiet; agitation will answer for empty vessels only.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Sarah Palin is an empty vessel ready to be filled by ideology that she doesn't even understand, and that is really scary. Nothing is more frightening than an empty vessel in power.

Until you divest yourself of the notion that you are a collection of needs, an empty vessel that someone else must fill up, there will be no safe place to harbor yourself, no safe shore to reach. As long as you think mostly of getting, you will have nothing real to give.
The empty vessel giveth a greater sound than the full barrel.
As empty vessels make the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest blabbers
You cannot teach an old dog new tricks
I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart: but the saying is true 'The empty vessel makes the greatest sound'.
All that glitters is not gold.
