"Give, expecting nothing there of...." - Quote by Thomas Aquinas

“It is not theft, properly speaking, to take secretly and use another's property in a case of extreme need: because that which he takes for the support of his life becomes his own property by reason of that need”

“The things that we love tell us what we are.”

“One aspect of neighbourly love is that we must not merely will our neighbours good, but actually work to bring it about.”

“Self fulfillment thinks of how something serves me. Self development thinks of how something helps me to serve others. With self fulfillment, feeling good is the product. With self development, feeling good is the by-product.”

“What makes people laugh? . . . It's a happy marriage between a person who needs to laugh and someone who's got one to give.”

“Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product. For what keeps our interest in life and makes us look forward to tomorrow is giving pleasure to other people.”

“As we benefit from the inventions of others, we should be glad to share our own ... freely and gladly.”

“I have but one system of ethics for men and for nations - to be grateful, to be faithful to all engagements under all circumstances, to be open and generous, promoting in the long run even the interests of both”

“There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.”
