Giving material goods is one form of generosity, but one can extend an attitude of generosity into all one's behavior.

Responsibility - moral responsibilities, responsibilities regarding society - these are things that come from the heart.

The important thing is that men should have a purpose in life. It should be something useful, something good.

Love and kindness are the very basis of society. If we lose these feelings, society will face tremendous difficulties; the survival of humanity will be endangered.
