The act of giving has been proven to make people happier than if they had decided to use the thing for their own personal gain.

• “Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.”
  ― Khalil Gibran, Sand and Foam
• “Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.”
  ― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
• “If you think you have nothing to give, it isn’t true. Be generous. No one is too poor to give.”
  ― Cuong Lu, Wait
