Quote by Lillian Gish

What you get is a living, what you give is a life.

What you get is a living, what you give is a life.

Summary

This quote conveys that true fulfillment and purpose in life come from the act of giving rather than solely focusing on what one receives. It suggests that while we may get material possessions and superficial pleasures in life, the true essence of a meaningful existence lies in the impact we have on others. By giving - whether it's kindness, love, support, or assistance - we not only enhance the lives of those around us, but we also enrich our own life with fulfillment, purpose, and a sense of connection.
