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!

MWM | Adequate
Go Beyond Average = Adequate means to be average or lukewarm. Are you settling to be adequate? You were not born and created to be adequate. You were born to be exceptional.


Give Just a Little Extra Today
Commit To Rising Above = No one wants to be average—stuck in the middle. View being average as something to conquer and rise above. Today, if you consider yourself average, do something above average. Wherever you are in life, increase the positives of who you are by doing a little extra.



https://youtu.be/unbzOVDg2Sc
Go Beyond Adequate, Be Exceptional = The word adequate is often paired with average, and people often decide to be adequate in life. So many people settle for adequate, and learn to exist with this state. We were not born and created to be adequate, we were born to be exceptional. Go beyond adequate, it is a better way to live. 


https://youtu.be/aElBLFJzL9s


This belongs with average - it's simply existing. Do more, be more, and strive for better.

Today’s Work is Tomorrow’s Success | MWM
https://youtu.be/88nAHom-BH4
Success Is A Journey = Graduation signifies that you have accomplished something, but you don’t become successful the day you graduate. You became successful the day you decided to go to school, take the course, pursue the goal. Success is a continual journey that shows up at graduation. Success is not the same as recognition of success. When we graduate we are being recognized for what we did right, yesterday.

Aim to Make Fans - Expectations
Usually, the notion is that as a leader you should aim to make friends not fans. But in the case of expectations, you should be making fans. A “fan” is made when one not only meets expectations but exceeds them. Meeting a person’s expectations will save them from disappointment; but when you exceed that same person’s expectations, you have just created yourself a fan. So, when it comes to expectations, aim to make fans. 


Aim High
Today we want you to aim high and go after all your big dreams! If you don't get out of your comfort zone you will never grow, you will continue to stay on the same path.
