Remember, it is not the size of a gift, it is its quality and the amount of mental attachment you overcome that count.  So don’t bankrupt yourself on a momentary positive impulse, only to regret it later.  Give thought to giving.  Give small things, carefully, and observe the mental processes going along with the act of releasing the little thing you liked. Robert A.F. Thurman
• Letting go

Be generous with your love

Eleanor Roosevelt

• Action,  Thinking

.

Be generous in a way that empower rather than creates reliance

• Too many have dispensed with generosity in order to practice charity. Albert Camus
• True generosity consists precisely in fighting to destroy the causes which nourish false charity. False charity constrains the fearful and subdued, the “rejects of life,” to extend their trembling hands.  True generosity lies in striving so that these hands–whether of individuals or entire peoples–need be extended less and less in supplication, so that more and more they become human hands which work and, working, transform the world. Paulo Freire
• You can’t get rid of poverty by giving people money. J. O’Rourke

.

Be generous with your words

• Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

• Happiness,  Success

.

Be generous but not when sharing negative things

• People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action. Steve Maraboli

• To the generous mind the heaviest debt is that of gratitude, when it is not in our power to repay it. Benjamin Franklin
• In the end, though, maybe we must all give up trying to pay back the people in this world who sustain our lives. In the end, maybe it’s wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human generosity and to just keep saying thank you, forever and sincerely, for as long as we have voices. Elizabeth Gilbert
• Appreciation,  Gratitude

Bad days can teach us to be more generous

• I like to say that a bad day for the ego is a good day for the soul. When we look back on some of our most challenging experiences, we admit that we wouldn’t trade what we gained from them for remaining the same as we were. Something within acknowledges that during those times when we are pressed against the ropes of life, we learn to become more generous, to forgive, to never give up on ourselves or others. We learn to regenerate, to rejuvenate, to surrender. Michael Bernard Beckwith
