Generosity Quote by Judith Durham
“Generosity of spirit is worthwhile. I've had many requests over the years to attend things, to sing somewhere. I try not to turn things down if I don't have to. The easiest thing is to say you can't manage it, but often it's more rewarding to agree to do something for someone.”
