You can't get rid of poverty by giving people money.
Give, and you may keep your friend it you lose your money; lend, and the chances are that you lose your friend if ever you get back your money
To give and then not feel that one has given is the very best of all ways of giving.
Getting what you want is not nearly as important as giving what you have.
You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.
Happiness... consists in giving, and in serving others.
No one has ever become poor by giving.
The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.
What is called liberality is often merely the vanity of giving
Giving is the lifeblood of happy living.
You give before you get.
Philanthropy: A state of doing where the giving is easy.
The trick is to realize that after giving your best, there's nothing more to give.
Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he hold to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods and on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of Holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertion.
You get most things in life not by taking, but by giving.
