Quote by Bible

Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shall find it after many days.

Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shall find it after

Summary

This quote is from the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible and suggests that people should be generous and selfless in their actions, trusting that their kindness will eventually be returned to them in some form. "Bread" symbolizes acts of goodwill or assistance. By casting our goodness into the "waters" -- directing it out into the world -- it implies that while the rewards may not be immediate, they will manifest in due time. It encourages individuals to have faith in the concept of karma and to continue doing good without expecting immediate benefits.
