from ‘The Prophet’ by Kahlil Gibran 

It is well to give when asked,
but it is better to give unasked, through understanding;
And to the open-handed the search for one who shall receive
is joy greater than giving.
And is there aught you would withhold?
All you have shall some day be given;
Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours
and not you inheritors.
