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
