QUOTES ON GIVING

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

BIBLE, Acts 20:35

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
