Famous quotes containing the word generous:

    Her track, where’er the Goddess roves,
    Glory pursue, and generous Shame,
    Th’ unconquerable Mind, and Freedom’s holy flame.
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    In naturally strong-minded men, however young and inexperienced in some things, those great and sudden emergencies, which but confound the timid and the weak, only serve to call forth all their generous latentness, and teach them, as by inspiration, extraordinary maxims of conduct, whose counterpart, in other men, is only the result of a long, variously-tried and pains-taking life.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    People who think they’re generous to a fault usually think that’s their only fault.
    Sydney J. Harris (b. 1917)
