It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Do not give, as many rich men do, like a hen that lays her egg and then cackles.
HENRY WARD BEECHER, Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
The good receiv'd, the giver is forgot.
WILLIAM CONGREVE, epistle to Lord Halifax
- He that distributeth not
- That which he hath received--
- His food, his drink, his sustenance--
- Unto devotee, brahman, beggar, wayfarer--
- Such a low man as he, they say, is like
- Unto a lack of rain.
GAUTAMA BUDDHA, Iti-Vuttaka
