Generosity in quotes: Peter W. Marty

“I’m convinced that bone-deep generosity is a way of life that has nothing to do with means and everything to do with desire. It’s one thing to enjoy spasms of personal generosity — a good deed here and a kindness there. It’s another thing to be a person so generous in spirit that a desire to be grateful guides one’s entire outlook on life.”
