You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can't put a dollar sign on.

Giving that is not motivated by love is worth nothing.

Love is giving and it has nothing to do with what you receive.

Ours should be the love that asks not 'how little?' but, 'how much?' The love that delights to pour out everything upon the feet of our Beloved.

When we love people but don't make it about us, we're exchanging currency we can use for a while for currency we can use forever.

Charity is a virtue of the heart, and not of the hands.

Some of us try desperately to hold on to ourselves, to live for ourselves. We look so bedraggled and pathetic doing it, hanging on to the dead branch of a bank account for dear life, afraid to risk ourselves on the untried wings of giving. We don't think we can live generously because we have never tried. But the sooner we start the better, for we are going to have to give up our lives finally, and the longer we wait the less time we have for the soaring and swooping life of grace.

Listen carefully to what I am saying—and be wary of the shrewd advice that tells you how to get ahead in the world on your own. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity. Stinginess impoverishes." NEVER WITHOUT A STORY

Mercy to the needy is a loan to God, and God pays back those loans in full.

He who plants kindness gathers love.

You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving." The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.

He who sows courtesy reaps friendship.
