Where did this originate from?

"It's not what you gain but what you give, measures the worth of the life you live". I posted this on People & Places under 'single for life or what' I always use this in my every day life, but just wondered where it originates from? Thanks.

"It's not what we gain, but what we give, That measures the worth of the life we live." is an anonymous inscription in the Bible at Hillcliffe Baptist Church, Warrington, Cheshire

Thank you for replying gem., that's very interesting to know. My dear Mum used to have an etched plaque with those words on, many moons ago.
