We are at our best when we are giving. In fact, we are most like God when we are giving.

Happiness happens when you give." Doing good does good for the doer.

When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.

The charitable say in effect, 'I seem to have more than I need and you seem to have less than you need. I would like to share my excess with you.' Fine, if my excess is tangible, money or goods, and fine if not, for I learned that to be charitable with gestures and words can bring enormous joy and repair injured feelings.

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.

I may never be known as a philanthropist, but I certainly am a lover of mankind, and I will give freely of my resources. I am happy to describe myself as charitable.

We can be grateful for each opportunity to generously give.

Generosity is the value we practice. Nonattachment is a gift.

We try to be living proof that people can outgive God.

The real treasures of this world cannot be purchased with any sum of money. But they can be given away for free.

the spirit of Santa is real. It's the spirit of love and giving, and I like to think that it's symbolic of God's love and generosity. Sort of like a metaphor for children.

I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, O Lord, for it is good. (Ps. 54:6)
