One must be poor to know the luxury of giving!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You cannot spend money in luxury without doing good to the poor. Nay, you do more good to them by spending it in luxury, than by giving it; for by spending it in luxury, you make them exert industry, whereas by giving it, you keep them idle.
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
Suffice it to say, I'm not poor.
I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living.
That is one of the bitter curses of poverty; it leaves no right to be generous.
Giving a poor person money keeps them poor.
Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.
Funny thing is that the poorer people are, the more generous they seem to be.
Every luxury must be paid for, and everything is a luxury, starting with being in this world.
No one has ever become poor by giving.
