Quote by Eugene Benge

Getters don't get -- givers get.

Getters don't get -- givers get.

Summary

This quote suggests that those who focus only on taking or gaining for themselves often end up empty-handed. In contrast, those who prioritize giving, helping, and contributing to others tend to receive more in return. It implies that acts of selflessness and generosity are not only noble but also beneficial, as they create opportunities and foster positive relationships. By shifting the focus from "getting" to "giving," individuals can cultivate a mindset that enables them to achieve more fulfillment and success.

My pet aphorism suffer fools gladly should be the guide of the Assistant Secretary, who, during the fortnight of his activity, has more little vanities and rivalries to smooth over and conciliate than other people meet with in a lifetime. Now you do not suffer fools gladly; on the contrary, you gladly make fools suffer.
