Kent Nerburn, Growing Hope
Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. And give. Give in any way you can, of whatever you possess. To give is to love. To withhold is to wither. Care less for your harvest than how it is shared, and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.
Give in any way you can
Paramahansa Yogananda, How to Be Happy All the Time
A few years ago, I had a fine musical instrument, an esraj from India. I loved to play devotional music on it. But a visitor one day admired it. Unhesitatingly I gave it to him. Years later someone asked me, "Weren't you just a little sorry?" "Never for a moment!" I replied. Sharing one's happiness with others only expands one's happiness.
Sharing one's happiness with others

We must love them both —
Those whose opinions we share,
Those whose opinions we don't share.
They've both labored in the search for Truth
and have both helped us in finding it.
We must love them both
Joel Goldsmith, Spiritual Healing
The only reason there is for living is love. It sounds strange, but it is true. There is no other reason for staying on earth than the opportunity to love, and anybody who has experienced this knows that there is no joy like loving: no joy like sharing, bestowing, understanding, and giving, all of which are but other names for love.

Haitian Saying , The Soul of Money

Sharing half the cake
Donald Altman, Meal by Meal
Even if you live alone, you can show hospitality by giving away leftover food — to a hungry person or the neighborhood critters and pets. Leftover and even spoiled food make for good compost so you can create more food, more abundance.

Barbara Cawthorne Crafton, Meditations on the Book of Psalms
Standing at the door of St. Paul's Chapel one noonday, I was helping with the distribution of bag lunches to the hungry who gathered there every day. There were always 150 lunches to give, never more, never fewer. The one-hundred-fiftieth man in the line reached out and took his lunch; I told Number 151 that I was sorry. Number 150 opened his bag and pulled out the sandwich in it; he held out half to 151, who took it. The two of them walked off together. They had nothing, and they split it. The presence of God.
They had nothing and they split it
Nilton Bonder, The Kabbalah of Envy
