I really can't imagine Buddha said these quotes.
the quotes are a contemporary explanation, by
P A Payutto
, Thailand's foremost Buddhist scholar, of the following teachings:
Ākaṅkheyyuṃ ce, gahapatayo, ubho jānipatayo diṭṭhe ceva dhamme aññamaññaṃ passituṃ abhisamparāyañca aññamaññaṃ passituṃ ubhova assu samasaddhā samasīlā sama
cāgā
samapaññā
If both husband & wife want to see one another not only in the present life but also in the life to come, they should be in tune [with each other] in conviction, in tune in virtue, in tune in
generosity
and in tune in wisdom.
Samajivina Sutta
Yadi saccā dammā
cāgā
, khantyā
bhiyyodha vijjatī
Kathaṃ nu dāni puccheyyaṃ
puthū samaṇabrāhmaṇe
Now, go ask others,
common brahmans & contemplatives,
if anything better than
truth, self-control,
endurance &
relinquishment
here can be found.
Alavaka Sutta
Cāga
[from cajati, to give up, Vedic tyaj. Cp. Sk. tyāga]
(a) abandoning, giving up, renunciation
(b) liberality, generosity, munificence

buddha's enlightenment was not the eradication of concepts but the comprehension of the realities of nature
this is Buddhahood: comprehending the realities of life so sound advice can be given to all people in all situations
thus in Buddhahood, one is a spiritual master, a psychologist, a sociologist, an environmentalist, a counsellor; all things for all people
By comprehending all the world,
All in the world just as it is,
From all the world he is released;
In all the world he clings to nothing.
AN 4:23
