"Generosity comes in all forms. It may be as simple as a smile, a ‘hello’ ‘good morning’ or ‘how are you doing’ A lot of people have lost that touch of generosity. I know this old man and woman always grew rhubarb. They aren’t able to do that anymore, the ground moles got what they had, so every year I make sure that when I pull the first pullings of rhubarb off, I take it to them. Good will toward your fellow man and woman both, is very important because it shows your character. And your heritage. " -Perky in "Needlework: HG 7"
