Giving to our children

"A man who gives his children habits of industry provides for them better than by giving them fortune." -- Richard Whately
"If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one." -- Mother Teresa

"If you have much, give of your wealth; If you have little, give of your heart." -- Arab Proverb

"The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving." -- Albert Einstein

"Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more." -- Anthony Robbins

"Do not stand on a high pedestal and take 5 cents in your hand and say, 'here, my poor man,' but be grateful that the poor man is there, so by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself. It is not the receiver that is blessed, but it is the giver. Be thankful that you are allowed to exercise your power of benevolence and mercy in the world, and thus become pure and perfect." -- Swami Vivekananda

"Pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check, but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul." -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"I hate the giving of the hand unless the whole man accompanies it." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
