Quote by William Shakespeare

Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.

Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.

Summary

This quote emphasizes how the value of material gifts diminishes when they are given by unkind or uncaring individuals. Regardless of their monetary worth, when gestures of generosity come from those who lack kindness or goodwill, they lose their significance and become meaningless. It suggests that the sincerity and intention behind the gift are just as important as the actual value of the present.
