Nobility of mind

Sowing bountifully

Giving what we have

Willingness to give

A nobility of spirit

Liberality in giving

Accepting ingratitude

The flower of justice

Having a bountiful eye

Liberality in principle

Turning the other cheek

The hallmark of an artist

Giving without remembering

The best way to avoid greed

Giving our bread to the poor

Willingness to give or share

Not an act, but a way of life

Giving to everyone that asks of us

Knowing how to count, but refraining

Being liberal in giving, often as gifts

Giving, not grudgingly, or of necessity

Munificence, open–handedness, and liberality

Giving silently without hope of praise or reward

Doing something for someone who can never repay us

Not giving what we have, but giving of who we are

A disposition to give liberally or to bestow favors

Offering time, assets or talents to aid someone in need

A candid estimation of other’s virtues and good qualities

A seed, which even dropped by chance, springs up a flower

Not the sum given, but the manner in which it is bestowed

Giving our all, and yet always feeling as if it costs us nothing

A quality of the heart or mind opposed to meanness or parsimony

Giving at the right moment, rather than necessarily giving much

Unto them that smite us on the one cheek, offering also the other

Not asking for our goods back from anyone that takes away our goods

Not forbidding someone who takes away our cloke to take our coat also

Offering our time, money, and energy in service of others' well-being

Loving our enemies, and doing good, and lending, hoping for nothing again

Helping one person at a time and always starting with the person nearest us

An act of freedom, a casting off of the constraints of prudence and self-interest

An offering, given freely and out of pure love, with no strings attached and no expectations

Loving our enemies, doing good to them which hate us, blessing them that curse us, and praying for them which despitefully use us

Giving to those whom we love, giving to those who love us, giving to the fortunate, giving to the unfortunate, giving especially to those to whom we don't want to give
