“It is not what you give your friend, but what you are willing to give him that determines the quality of friendship.”

“The quality of what you do determines the quality of your life.”

“The quality of life that you have is determined solely by the effort you put into giving your life value, purpose and a reason.”

“Your life doesn't mean what you have or what you get. It's what you're willing to give up.”

“Friendship is special because it is freely chosen. Our friends want us as their friend for our own sake. No other relationship, either professional or kinship, can give what friendship gives.”

“Whatever it is you are really desiring, give it away. If it's companionship, give it to someone else, and just listen to them and be there. If it's money, give it to someone who is less fortunate. If it's encouragement, give it to others. If it's friendship, become the best friend you can be to others. If it's time, serve others with your time. You will be amazed to see how much more of everything you have when you are willing to freely give.”
