Generosity


 "God's bodkin, man, much better: use every man after his desert, and who shall scape whipping? Use them after your own honor and dignity -- the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty?
  William Shakespeare

 A good chief gives, he does not takes

 American husbands are the best in the world; no other husbands are so generous to their wives, or can be so easily divorced

 Be just before you are generous
  Richard Brinsley Sheridan

 Being generous, just helping one's relatives and being blameless in one's actions; this is the best good luck.
  Buddha

 Candor and generosity, unless tempered by due moderation, lead to ruin

 Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
  John Wesley

 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
