The Gift of Compassion True dana is about giving with no expectation of return. One who receives a gift of compassion is promised nothing more than the emotional boost of knowing good has been done. But as we groan under the weight of our possessions, that in itself can be a priceless gift. Altruism is a proven tonic. - Joan Duncan Oliver, "Gifts that Keep Giving"
