Famous Quotes about generosity


Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death; one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear.

Horace


The poor don't know that their function in life is to exercise our generosity.

Jean-Paul Sartre


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.

Kahlil Gibran


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.

Jean-Paul Sartre


I take as my guide the hope of a saint: in crucial things, unity... in important things, diversity... in all things, generosity.

George W. Bush


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

Kahlil Gibran


The only gift is a portion of thyself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
