“To give love to one who needs it is a far greater pleasure than to receive it.”
“It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding; and to the open-handed the search for one who shall receive is joy greater than giving.”
“And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.”
“Love cures people, both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.”
“Presents are made for the pleasure of who gives them, not the merits of who receives them.”
“Perchance you who pronounce my sentence are in greater fear than I who receive it.”
