Quotations regarding 'Generosity'

Choose a letter: 
Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
Jean-Paul Sartre, French Philosopher (1905-1980)
The poor don't know that their function in life is to exercise our generosity.
Jean-Paul Sartre, French Philosopher (1905-1980)
The success I have achieved in bodybuilding, motion pictures, and business would not have been possible without the generosity of the American people and the freedom here to pursue your dreams.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Austrian Actor (1947-  )
While America has always been and always will be a safe harbor for those being persecuted by tyrannical governments we must be vigilant to ensure those individuals are not taking advantage of America's generosity and good will.
Bill Shuster, American Politician (1961-  )
Humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity that of a man.
Adam Smith, Scottish Economist (1723-1790)
It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
John Steinbeck, American Author (1902-1968)
Candor and generosity, unless tempered by due moderation, leads to ruin.
Tacitus, Roman Historian
He who gives what he would as readily throw away, gives without generosity; for the essence of generosity is in self sacrifice.
Henry Taylor, English Dramatist (1800-1886)
Yoga is about compassion and generosity towards others. It means being mindful of the world around us.
Christy Turlington, American Model (1969-  )
We are treated with such generosity of spirit.
Michael Zaslow, American Actor (1944-1998)
