“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver. ...
“Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting. ...
“Giving does not only precede receiving; it is the reason for it. ...
“It's easier to take than to give. ...
“No one has ever become poor from giving.
“Don't Just"
Don't just learn, experience.
Don't just read, absorb.
Don't just change, transform.
Don't just relate, advocate.
Don't just promise, prove.
Don't just criticize, encourage.
Don't just think, ponder.
Don't just take, give.
Don't just see, feel.
Don’t just dream, do.
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just talk, act.
Don't just tell, show.
Don't just exist, live.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
