The 35 Best Giving Quotes to Inspire Generosity
These giving messages are the gift that keeps on giving.
When you need a little inspiration for crafting poignant social media posts, cards or just to share with friends and family, we can help. And while giving is great all year round, we especially turn our attention to it this time of year. At Thanksgiving, some families like to kick off the meal by reflecting on their own blessings and how they can help those who are less fortunate. Sharing a few of these giving quotes may help you think about what you have and how you can support those who haven't had as much good fortune. At other times of the year, look back on this list to give yourself a little push to give.
And while generosity is its own reward, as the saying goes, The Cleveland Clinic reports that donating to charity or volunteering has measurable physical and mental health benefits. Studies show that those who give of themselves can have lower blood pressure and stress levels, fewer incidences of depression, higher self esteem, and even a longer life. Emotionally supporting one another can even help people recover from cardiac events. And because giving can release happy brain chemicals like dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin, it also makes you feel good both in the moment and longer-term.
