Best Quotes about Giving

You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give.

Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder To the faults about me; Let me praise a little more, Let me be, when I am weary; Just a little bit more cheery, Let me serve a little better Those that I am striving for. Let me be a little braver When temptation bids me waver, Let me strive a little harder To be all that I should be; Let me be a little meeker to the brother that is weaker; Let me think more of my neighbor and a little less of me.

Give and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over... [Luke 6:38]
