Quotes:Kindness and Generosity


This week's subject for WWW is Kindness and Generosity. Hope you enjoy!!

Generosity is not giving that which somebody needs more than you do, but giving somebody that which you need more than they do.

Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you - not because they are nice, but because you are.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

Don't be yourself - be someone a little nicer.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.

Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control. (Bible)

Kindness is the greatest wisdom.

To err on the side of kindness is seldom an error.

The habit of giving only enhances the desire to give.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. (Winston Churchill)

A generous man diviseth generous things, and by generosity he shall stand. (Bible)
