Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.
What we call generosity is for the most part only the vanity of giving; and we exercise it because we are more fond of that vanity than of the thing we give.
What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving; we enjoy the vanity more than the thing given.
To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.
We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.
True generosity is an offering; given freely and out of pure love. No strings attached. No expectations. Time and love are the most valuable possession you can share.
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
You can express your generosity in ways that are virtually limitless. This was what I wanted to convey in 'Giving 2.0' - that whether you have $10 or $10 million to give, if you identify the right opportunities and make the most of your resources, your impact can be tremendous.
Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
