The joy of giving

Rudolf Wagner-Régeny

Without a doubt the greatest happiness is to give

To those who have a heavier lot in life

And to joyously spread with elated hands

The beautiful gifts all around

No rose can be more beautiful

Than the face of the recipient

when his hands are filled up, and

settled down with joy.

Nothing creates such complete cheerfulness

As helping everyone, everyone!

When I don't pass on what I have,

How could I ever enjoy it?
