Be a fountain, not a drain

गौरवं प्राप्यते दानात्
न तु वित्तस्य सञ्चयात् ।
स्थितिरुच्चैः पयोदानाम्
पयोधीनां अधः स्थितिः ॥

One gains respect by donating wealth and not by accumulating it. Clouds which give water have a higher position and seas which accumulate water occupy a lower position.

Be a fountain, not a drain.
