Men lose all the material things they leave behind them in this world, but they carry with them the reward of their charity and the alms they give. For these, they will receive from the Lord the reward and recompense they deserve.
I am always begging them to spare me this chasing after men.
There is nothing men are so generous of as advice.
Demand no more out of your partner than what you are willing to give yourself.
Give a man a free hand and he'll try to put it all over you.
Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.
Whether they give or refuse, it delights women just the same to have been asked.
It is not from your own goods that you give to the beggar; it is a portion of his own that you are restoring to him. The Earth belongs to all. So you are paying back a debt and think you are making a gift to which you are not bound.
Take care that all your offerings be free, and of your own, that has cost you something; so that ye may not offer of that which is another man's, or that which ye are entrusted withal, and not your own.
Men give away nothing so liberally as their advice.
