"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
— Winston Churchill
We Make A Living By What
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
About this quote
This quote is not verifiably Churchill's. No primary source — speech, letter, or book — has been identified linking it to him, and researchers at the International Churchill Society have been unable to trace it. One analysis credits the sentiment to Scottish broadcaster Norman MacEwan, though that attribution is also not firmly documented. The saying is a classic case of an inspirational phrase acquiring the authority of a famous name through repeated internet circulation.
