Either a princess or a pauper can feel generous. Generosity is the quality of the spirit. When you feel generous your life becomes, abundant full of compassion and love.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

I wonder why anyone would hesitate to be generous with their writing. I mean, if you really want to make a living, go to Wall Street and trade oil futures ... We're writers. We're doing something that is inherently a generous act. We're exposing ourselves to the muse and to the things that frighten us. Why do that if you're not willing to be generous? And paradoxically, almost ironically, it turns out that the more generous you are, the more money you make. But that's secondary. For me, the privilege of being generous is why I get to do this.

Seth Godin

In working with Nick Cannon, he's such a generous guy, a generous actor, and he was very protective.

Teyonah Parris

If a man is prodigal, he cannot be truly generous.

James Boswell

The Prophet Muhammad (s) said: "Indeed, an ignorant man who is generous is dearer to God than a worshipper who is miserly."

Muhammad ibn Isa at-Tirmidhi

Plenty of white space and generous line spacing,and don't make the type size too miserly. Then you will be assured of a product fit for a king.

If you take all the food aid, America is by far the most generous country. If you take the direct aid, we're very generous. But when you add on our private contributions - see, our tax system encourages private citizens to donate to organisations that, for example, help the folks in Africa. And when you take the combined effort of US taxpayers' money plus US citizens' donations, we're very generous. And we'll do more.

George W. Bush

Every good quality runs into a defect; economy borders on avarice, the generous are not far from the prodigal, the brave man is close to the bully; he who is very pious is slightly sanctimonious; there are just as many vices to virtue as there are holes in the mantle of Diogenes.

Victor Hugo

If you are not generous when it's difficult, you will not be generous when it's easy. Generosity is a function of the heart, not the wallet.

Wayne Dyer

It's easy to be generous with money. Far harder to be generous with your time.

Alan Bleasdale

We need to be generous with the women following in our footsteps in the hope that they will be generous with us.

Tina Sloan

Is it not odd that the only generous person I ever knew, who had money to be generous with, should be a stockbroker.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Actors have an innate sense of self and humanity, the good ones do, and of being generous of heart and generous of spirit.

Pierce Brosnan

I don't know of a way to have a generous church without a generous pastor.

Johnny Hunt

Don't ever be afraid of giving. Give. Give of your time, your forgiveness, your understanding, your love. Give of your money. Give to the creation, and you'll be given by the Creator. Be generous, and the Most Generous will be generous with you.
