Giving Quotes
Enjoy these giving-themed quotes that inspire generosity:
“Life’s persistent and most urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?'”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting.“
Brian Tracy
“Memories are perhaps the best gifts of all.”
Gloria Gaither
“No one has ever become poor by giving.”
Anne Frank
“Everyone can experience the joy and blessing of generosity; because everyone has something to give.”
Jan Grace
“Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.”
“At the end of the day, it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished… it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.”
“What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.”
Albert Pike
“We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.”
“All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we’re giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That’s one of the things that connects us as neighbors — in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver.”
“For it is in giving that we receive.”
“A long time ago, I took a walk down a street in Harlem in New York City. I came upon a man who asked me for a dollar. He had asked a few other people before me, but they only passed him by without glancing his way. I stopped and handed the man some money. As I began to turn away, he reached out and shook my hand. He looked me in the eyes and said, “I will bless you.” Now, I’m not saying that was God Himself. But how do we know that it wasn’t someone working for him, walking around in disguise, just to see what we would do?
Muhammad Ali, The Soul of a Butterfly
