Sharing is sometimes more demanding than giving.

Sharing is sometimes more demanding than giving.

Summary

This quote suggests that sharing can be more challenging than simply giving something to someone. Giving something requires a physical act of generosity, but sharing goes beyond that. It requires a willingness to give up a portion of what we have, whether it is our time, resources, or personal space. Sharing calls for a sense of empathy and understanding, as it involves actively involving others and making compromises. It reminds us that true sharing often demands not only giving but also a willingness to let go and accommodate others' needs and desires.

The world has never had a good definition of the word libert

The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other mens labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatable things, called by the same nameliberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatable namesliberty and tyranny.
