Teach all men to fish, but first teach all men to be fair. Take less, give more. Give more of yourself, take less from the world. Nobody owes you anything, you owe the world everything.

About This Quote

This is a variation of the idea of "giving more than you take", a concept that is deeply rooted in Buddhist thought. It is a powerful idea that can be applied to any relationship, including ones with friends, family, and coworkers. If you have been taking from the people around you, then it is time to start giving back. This quote from Nelson Mandela about being fair and giving as much as you take from the world will help you to understand the connection between being fair and being generous. In life, we all sometimes take more than we give, but we can change that by changing our ways.

We can give less and expect more in return. We can learn to make ourselves happy by setting our own needs aside and looking out for others. This quote can help us to forgive those who were selfish and hurtful to us in the past and realize that there was no reason for anyone to be unfair with us or to take more than they deserved.
