It is a charming quality of the happiness we inspire in others that, far from being diminished like a reflection, it comes back to us enhanced.

Our mind is enriched by what we receive, our heart by what we give.

What you seek for others you find for yourself.

Generosity is inverted prosperity.

Money is like manure: if you don't spread it around, nothing grows.
