"And in the end, I realized that I took more than I gave, I was trusted more than I trusted, and I was loved more than I loved. And what I was looking for was not to be found but to be made."

Paraphrasing St. Francis of Assisi, eh?

It varies by the translation, but the most common is "O Master, grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love."

Similar, but the writer can't be accused of plagiarism.
