I have
somewhere met with the epitaph on a charitable man
which has pleased me very much. I cannot recollect
the words, but here is the sense of it: ''What I
spent I lost; what I possessed is left to others;
what I gave away remains with me.''
-- Joseph Addison
1672-1719, British
Essayist, Poet, Statesman
It is
by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating
that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by
showing that we look, by writing that we think, by
pumping that we draw water into the well.
-- Henri Frederic
Amiel
1821-1881, Swiss
Philosopher, Poet, Critic
The
trick is to realize that after giving your best,
there's nothing more to give.
-- Sparky Anderson
American Baseball
Manager
The
human contribution is the essential ingredient. It
is only in the giving of oneself to others that we
truly live.
