Lavishness is not generosity.
- Fuller, Thomas
Generosity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Generosity

1.
Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

2.
Generosity lies less in giving much than in giving at the right moment.
Bruyere, Jean De La

3.
Giving is the business of the rich.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

4.
What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving; we enjoy the vanity more than the thing given.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

5.
There is sublime thieving in all giving. Someone gives us all he has and we are his.
Hoffer, Eric

6.
Many people are capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing.
Pope, Alexander

7.
Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in giving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can give yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, or some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and from the universe.
Zinn, Jon Kabat

8.
The poor don't know that their function in life is to exercise our generosity.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

9.
If you're a generous person you'll have no trouble admitting that somebody else is good. If you're a better person you'll find it's total impossibility.

10.
A generous man places the benefits he confers beneath his feet; those he receives, nearest his heart.
Greville, Lord

11.
How much easier is it to be generous than just.
Junius

12.
Liberality consists less in giving a great deal than in gifts well-timed.
La Bruyere, Jean De

13.
What I gave I have, what I spent I had; and what I left I lost.
Robert of Doncaste

14.
Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death; one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear.
Mann, Horace

15.
To generous souls every task is noble.
Euripides

16.
People who think they're generous to a fault usually think that's their only fault.
Harris, Sidney J.

17.
Is it not odd that the only generous person I ever knew, who had money to be generous with, should be a stockbroker.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe

18.
Lavishness is not generosity.
Fuller, Thomas
