There are people who can never forgive a beggar for their not having given him anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
You can't beg from people what they're not willing to give you.
If beggars do not hate the rest of us, they are even more abject than I had imagined.
Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.
The fact is there is forgiveness for those who seek God. And I believe in the power of redemption.
Most people do not pray; they only beg.
Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out.
The whole point of a sacrifice is that you give up something you never really wanted in the first place. People are doing it around you all the time. They give up their careers, say - or their beliefs - or sex.
You can forgive somebody and still believe they need a consequence.
Those who give of themselves rarely regret it.
