Quotations On Generosity |
Is it not odd that
the only generous person I ever knew, who had money to be
generous with, should be a stockbroker.
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley
1792-1822, British Poet |
He who gives what
he would as readily throw away, gives without generosity; for
the essence of generosity is in self sacrifice.
-- Sir Henry Taylor
1800-1886, British Author |
If you're a
generous person you'll have no trouble admitting that somebody
else is good. If you're a better person you'll find it's total
impossibility.
-- Source Unknown |
Give all thou
canst; high Heaven rejects the lore of nicely-calculated less or
more.
-- William Wordsworth
1770-1850, British Poet

Generosity is
another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging,
and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice.
You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as
a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an
exercise in giving. A good place to start is with yourself. See
if you can give yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such
as self-acceptance, or some time each day with no purpose.
Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without
obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and from the
universe.
-- Jon Kabat Zinn |
