Generosity Quotes

Quotes About Generosity
  • Generosity is a quality that many men admire. But if a prince develops a reputation for generosity, he will ruin his state. A reputation for generosity requires outward lavishness, which eventually depletes all of the prince’s resources. In the end, the prince will be forced to burden his people with excessive taxes in order to raise the money to maintain his reputation for generosity. Ultimately, the prince’s liberality will make the people despise and resent him. ~Niccolò Machiavelli
  • Blessed are those who can give without remembering, and take without forgetting. --PRINCESS ELIZABETH ASQUITH BIBESCO
  • Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. --Khalil Gibran
  • Generosity is a function of the heart, not the wallet. --Wayne Dyer
  • Generosity is doing something for someone else and expecting nothing in return.


Putting People First | MWM
The Power Of Generosity = Be generous, especially in times of challenge. Generosity isn’t just about giving money—it’s about putting people first, even when it costs you. True generosity multiplies. What a leader gives away in trust, time, or care always returns in greater measure.




The Key to Success & Significance | MWM

A Generous Mindset Can Bring You Lots of Joy = Generous people are normally very, very fulfilled. If you have been blessed, the best way to take those blessings is to turn them around and pass them on to others. Selfish people are often unhappy, but unselfish, generous people are always fulfilled and happy. Generous people are serving and living for others. By having an abundance and generous mindset, others will be attracted to you because you put others first.





Comparison Kills Generosity | MWM

Give Others What You Value = There is no higher level of living than giving without expecting anything in return. People who embody generosity experience incredible freedom and happiness. Comparison kills generosity. The measure of your generosity is based on what you have, not what you give. Don’t let possessions take charge of your mind. If you are enslaved to greed, you cannot lead. 



A Person Who Gives is a Person Who’s Fulfilled
https://youtu.be/AE_Y0jyyMeY
Be Happy, Be Generous! = The happiest people in the world are generous. People who give are fulfilled. We were created to help one another and to share. When we act out who we are supposed to be, it gives us a sense of fulfillment in following that purpose. Give more to the people you see today!


The Impact of Generosity | MWM
Be Generous, Give Back What You Earn = Be generous with your money. As you are building your life and businesses, always strive to have three sources of income. And then give back what you can financially to others. Being generous with your money allows you to serve others and help those you otherwise wouldn't have been able to help. You can't give what you don't have, and once you earn more, pass it on. 
The Impact Of Generosity = Because of generosity, you can have—or give—the ability and resources to others to do things they wouldn't otherwise be able to do.



Generosity Gives Back To All = By living a generous life, you set aside time and resources to give to others. This practice will not only benefit others, but also benefit you. Based on the practice of tithing, you give 10% of what you have back to God. You need to have an open hand in life in order to give more and accept more in life, giving what you have where it is needed most.

Generosity
Generosity is an attitude = Generosity doesn’t have anything to do with blessings or money, it is an attitude. There are people who have very little, but are always sharing what they have with others. There are others who have a lot, but hold on tightly to what is theirs. What kind of person are you? Are you a generous person, opening yourself to receive more?
Generosity Is A Mindset = Generosity isn't about money, it's an attitude. Generosity is the idea that if you keep what you have, you can't have more. But If you open yourself up to give more, you can also receive more.


Success Stabilizers

A person that owns their money, instead of their money owning them. No matter how much you have, pass along a little bit of wisdom or wealth to help others succeed.





Become a river... allow others to share the greatness with you. Be a giver, it will be your greatest joy, no matter how little or how much you have!

Tolerance Quotes

Quotes About Tolerate 



  • If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace. --Franklin D. Roosevelt
  • I believe with all my heart that civilization has produced nothing finer than a man or woman who thinks and practices true tolerance.  Frank Knox 
  • Tolerance is the price we pay for living in a free, pluralistic society. --Robert Casey, American Politician (1932-2000)
  • Tolerance isn't about not having beliefs. It's about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you. --Timothy Keller
  • The notion of tolerance is changing, and with the new definitions the shape of tolerance itself has changed. Although a few things can be said in favor of the newer definition, the sad reality is that this new, contemporary tolerance is intrinsically intolerant. It is blind to its own shortcomings because it erroneously thinks it holds the moral high ground; it cannot be questioned because it has become part of the West’s plausibility structure. Worse, this new tolerance is socially dangerous and is certainly intellectually debilitating. Even the good that it wishes to achieve is better accomplished in other ways. --D. A. Carson

Take a Walk in My Shoes
Tolerance is born when we learn to truly see and know someone—not from our own perspective or experience, but from theirs. When you take a moment to try on someone else’s shoes and take a walk around their block, you can start to see their value—and you will inevitably start to care for them; you will at the very least be tolerant of them. And when you can do this for others, they will graciously return the favor. So, swap shoes and learn something about someone else. 

Three Components of Cultivating Culture
What’s the most valuable asset to your organization? It’s the people, hands down. People are the driving force behind your organization’s success, which is why it’s so important to have a healthy culture. Culture is all about the people. In this lesson, John teaches that the culture is made up of the people and of the messages they receive from their leader. Today, John is going to talk about the three ways that those messages are received from the leader to the employee so that you can better understand, as a leader, how to cultivate a culture that will make both the business and the people thrive. 
During the application portion of the episode, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow join forces to dive into John’s lesson and discuss the cultures they are building within their own families and within the John Maxwell Enterprise. If you want to cultivate a healthy, thriving culture within your business, you definitely don’t want to miss this episode.
Our BONUS resource for this episode is the “Three Components of Cultivating Culture Worksheet,” which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Culture and clicking “Download the Bonus Resource.”

Do you have faith in the future? Take a look at your journey, are you currently stuck in your "comfort zone" or are you living in the "faith zone?" Do yourself a favor, join the faith zone! As John says, things can happen that would have never happened if you didn't change the zone you were living in.

James 2:14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?
Galatians 3:9 So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
Hebrews 11:3 (MSG) By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word, what we see created by what we don’t see.
Matthew 17:20 (MSG) “Because you’re not yet taking God seriously,” said Jesus. “The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, ‘Move!’ and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn’t be able to tackle.”
James 2:18 (MSG) I can already hear one of you agreeing by saying, “Sounds good. You take care of the faith department, I’ll handle the works department.” Not so fast. You can no more show me your works apart from your faith than I can show you my faith apart from my works. Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hand in glove.
Luke 17:6 (MSG) But the Master said, “You don’t need more faith. There is no ‘more’ or ‘less’ in faith. If you have a bare kernel of faith, say the size of a poppy seed, you could say to this sycamore tree, ‘Go jump in the lake,’ and it would do it.
2 Corinthians 1:24 (MSG) We’re not in charge of how you live out the faith, looking over your shoulders, suspiciously critical. We’re partners, working alongside you, joyfully expectant. I know that you stand by your own faith, not by ours.
Luke 17:5 (MSG) The apostles came up and said to the Master, “Give us more faith.”
Galatians 3:12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”
Hebrews 11:1-2 NLT Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation.
Hebrews 11:6 ESV And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Hebrews 11 Faith in Action Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. ...
