The author, Linda Kavelin Popov, describes family virtues as the silver thread that runs through all of humanity. Virtues are qualities of the soul. Here's how the book works. First, there is a quote drawn from one of the world's many religions, such as the next quote from a sacred Hindu text. Generosity is giving and sharing.
Generosity is a quality of the spirit.
It is an awareness that there is plenty for everyone. But, you'll know better. In a world without generosity, every gift would have a string attached. That is not giving. Giving freely and fully is contagious.
