• The key to liberation from the power of materialism is not an exodus from culture - abandoning Wall Street or leaving the wealth of the nation to others - but the grace of giving... Givers for God disarm the power of money. They invite God's grace to flow through them.

  R. Kent Hughes

  Wall, Keys, Giving

• Inicie la donación. No esperes a que alguien te lo pida. Observa lo que ocurre, especialmente contigo. Puede que descubras que obtienes una mayor claridad sobre ti mismo y sobre tus relaciones, así como más energía en lugar de menos. Quizá descubras que, en lugar de agotarte o agotar tus recursos, los repones. Tal es el poder de la generosidad consciente y desinteresada. En el nivel más profundo, no hay dador, ni regalo, ni receptor. . sólo el universo reorganizándose a sí mismo.

• The Holy Supper is kept, indeed,
  In whatso we share with anothers need;
  Not what we give, but what we share,
  For the gift without the giver is bare;
  Who gives himself with his alms feeds three,
  Himself, his hungering neighbor, and me.

  James Russell Lowell

• Sure they say we (women) are life givers not takers, but guess what, most women can multi-task and be life givers and fighters. Boxing is not a life-taking sport. Boxing is not a violent sport; it's an art, a dance, a science. Sometimes the smarter boxer wins and sometimes the stronger boxer wins. Of course aggression is a feminine quality. It's a quality that exists in human beings whether they are men or women.

• When some remote ancestor of ours invented the shovel, he became a giver: He could plant a tree. And when the axe was invented, he became a taker: He could chop it down. Whoever owns land has thus assumed, whether he knows it or not, the divine functions of creating and destroying plants.

• Sin el Espíritu Santo, el discipulado cristiano sería inconcebible, incluso imposible. No puede haber vida sin el dador de vida, no puede haber entendimiento sin el Espíritu de verdad, no puede haber comunión sin la unidad del Espíritu, no puede haber semejanza de Cristo en el carácter sin Su fruto, y no puede haber testimonio eficaz sin Su poder. Como un cuerpo sin aliento es un cadáver, así la iglesia sin el Espíritu está muerta.

• Surrounded and absorbed, we tread like Etruscans on the edge of useless law; we pray to the giver of prayer, we give the cane whistle in ceremony, we swing the heavy silver chain of incense burners. Migration makes new citizens of Rome.

• This is what I find most magnetic about successful givers: they get to the top without cutting others down, finding ways of expanding the pie that benefit themselves and the people around them. Whereas success is zero-sum in a group of takers, in groups of givers, it may be true that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

• Grace binds you with far stronger cords than the cords of duty or obligation can bind you. Grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the Giver and bound to catch the spirit of the Giver. Like produces like. Grace makes you gracious, the Giver makes you give.
