GENEROSITY IS not in giving
me that, which needs more than
you do, but it is in giving me that
which you need more than I do.
THOSE WHO give you a serpent when
you ask for a fish may have nothing but
serpents to give. It is then generosity on
their part.
YOU ARE good when you strive to give
of yourself.
THEY GIVE that they may live, for to
withhold is to perish.
GENEROSITY IS giving more than
you can, and pride is taking less than
you need.
I HAVE learned silence from
the talkative, toleration from
the intolerant, and kindness
from the unkind; yet, strange, I am
ungrateful to those teachers.
THE TRIBUNE of humanity is in
its silent heart, never its talkative mind.
WE OFTEN borrow from our
tomorrow to pay our debts to our
yesterday.
BEAUTY SHINES brighter in the
heart of him who longs for it than in
the eyes of him.
LOVE IS forever shy of beauty,
yet beauty shall forever be
pursued by love.
ART IS a step in the known toward
the unknown.
EVERY EVIL has its remedy,
expect folly.
FOR HE who has not looked on
Sorrow will never see Joy.
THE BITTEREST thing in our
today's sorrow is the memory of our
yesterday's joy.
YOU JOY is your sorrow unmasked.
FRENDSHIP IS always a sweet
responsibility, never an opportunity.
