On the high ridge of heaven he stands exalted, yea, to the gods he goes, the liberal giver. The streams, the waters flow for him with fatness: to him guerdon ever yields abundance.

—The Rig Veda

He who first offered a gift, I consider the king of men.

— The Rig Veda

They who give, have all things; they who withhold have nothing.

—Hindu Proverb

Help your brother’s boat across and your own will reach the shore.

—Hindu Proverb
