Something to consider...
"Giving is the highest expression of potency. In the very act of giving, I experience my strength, my wealth, my power. This experience of heightened vitality and potency fills me with joy. I experience myself as overflowing, spending, alive, hence as joyous. Giving is more joyous than receiving, not because it is a deprivation, but because in the act of giving lies the expression of my aliveness."
- Erich Fromm
"You must give some time to your fellow man. Even if it's a little thing, do something for which you get not pay but the privilege of doing it." - Albert Schweitzer
