“Ελευθεριου δε εστι σφοδρα και το υπερβαλλειν εν τη δοσει
.”
Arist. Eth. iv. 1,
To give away and nothing leave
Is like the sun to shine;
For it is human to receive,
But to bestow divine:—
Is like the sun to shine;
For it is human to receive,
But to bestow divine:—
Thus reason'd well the sage; but then
Howe'er can bounty live,
And grow in living progress, when
It nothing hath to give?
Howe'er can bounty live,
And grow in living progress, when
It nothing hath to give?
“The liberal man is apt to exceed greatly in giving so as to leave but little for himself. For not to look to himself is part of his character.”
“I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than
they all.”
S. Luke xxi. 3.
Come, bring the scales wherein are weighed
The actions of the just,
When all things shall be open laid,
And riches turn to dust.
The actions of the just,
When all things shall be open laid,
And riches turn to dust.
The poor the kingdom have;—their store
By giving larger grows,
Possessing less they have still more,
The poorest most bestows.
By giving larger grows,
Possessing less they have still more,
The poorest most bestows.
