We finally sat down and asked ourselves how much of our lives we wanted to give everybody. We had just given a little too much, and it started to become a burden.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
How much do we owe the people we love? Now I would add a follow-up question: How do we cope with the fact that we can't necessarily give the people we love what they need?
We got more out of this as a family than we were able to give to the people.
God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.
One thing that was passed on from generation to generation in my family, over seven generations in 200 years, was never give up. That's the way we live.
We didn't have much money. My whole extended family used to help us, and buy us books and food. It was hard, and there were things I didn't want to talk about. But at the end I was a happy girl.
All our discontents about what we want appeared to spring from the want of thankfulness for what we have.
I had everything to gain by giving it everything I could.
We were rather poor, but we always had what we needed.
We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.
Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.
