Well, your greatest joy definitely comes from doing something for another, especially when it was done with no thought of something in return.

I'm all about thoughtful gifts. If you put thought behind it - it could be $5 - but if there's thought behind it, I think that's what matters.

That whenever I felt like helping someone who was short of money, or otherwise in need, I never had to be told that I had no resources to do it with. And that I was never put in that position myself—of having to take something from someone else.

Give what thou wilt, and take away what thou wilt, saith he that is well taught and truly modest, to Him that gives, and takes away. And it is not out of a stout and peremptory resolution, that he saith it, but in mere love, and humble submission.

The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away.

Help is what they offer but gratitude is what they want, they roll around in it like cats in the catnip.

In this world you have to take your bits and ends of kindness where you can find them, as they do not grow on trees.

The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious.

Thanksgiving creates abundance; and the miracle of multiplying happens when I give thanks-take the just one loaf, say it is enough, and give thanks-and He miraculously makes it more than enough.

Thanksgiving Day is a good day to recommit our energies to giving thanks and just giving.

There can be no greater gift than that of giving one's time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return.

If you do a good job for others, you heal yourself at the same time, because a dose of joy is a spiritual cure.
