The greatest way to learn the genius of generosity is to practice it in real time with others.

True generosity is an offering; given freely and out of pure love. No strings attached. No expectations.

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.

Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have.

Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.

The miracle is this: the more we share the more we have.

Let us try to teach generosity and altruism, because we are born selfish.

To be happy for the happiness of others, that is true generosity.

Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.

Be more generous to others than you would ever expect anyone to be to you.

Generosity leads to prosperity.

No single act of generosity remains in isolation. The ripples are many.

I’ll do business with anyone, but I’ll only go sailing with gentlemen.

A gentleman attracts the attention of many, but only has eyes for his own lady.

The gentleman desires to be halting in speech but quick in action.

I’m a gentleman, if nothing else. It’s taken me years to become one, but finally I have a sense of propriety.

A real man ain’t a coward, he stands by what he says, admits his faults, and corrects his mistakes.

Honest men are the gentlemen of nature.

I am a gentleman. My natural inclination is to be on my best behavior.
