“Sacrifice is the only true measure of generosity.”
Jason Hurst
“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
“Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.”
Mohandas Gandhi
“People are very fond of giving away what they need most themselves. It is what I call the depth of generosity.”
Oscar Wilde
“[Acclaimed by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 greatest U.S. films of the last century, Mockingbird won three Oscars, including one for star Gregory Peck , who died in 2003. And it was Peters who read the eulogy at Peck's funeral.] In art there is compassion, in compassion there is humanity, with humanity there is generosity and love, ... Gregory Peck gave us these attributes in full measure.”
