Selfless Giving

You have not lived until you have done something
for someone who can never repay you.

Grace in Giving

There is nothing forced or self-disciplined
about [generosity] ...
[A generous person] goes out of his way
not because his parents taught him
that's how good [people] behave,
but because he has chosen to be alert
to the circumstances in which he can be supportive.

Generosity

I don't want to be saved.
I want to be spent.

Gifts of Giving

Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression.
We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous.
We experience joy in the actual act of giving something.
And we experience joy in remembering the fact
that we have given.

Generosity

Generosity is giving more than you can,
and pride is taking less than you need.
