“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”
Gracious acceptance is an art - an art which most never bother to cultivate. We think that we have to learn how to give, but we forget about accepting things, which can be much harder than giving.... Accepting another person's gift is allowing him to express his feelings for you.
“Generosity is not giving me that which I need that you do, but it is giving me that which you need more that I do.”
“Behold I do not give lectures or a little charity, when I give I give myself.”
― Walt Whitman
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need
“He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much
