"The poor don't know that their function in life is to exercise our generosity" — Jean Paul Sartre

There is no one so rich that they don't need help or so poor that they cannot help

Do not waste your time on social questions. What is the matter with the poor is poverty; what is the matter with the rich is uselessness.

To give aid to every poor man is far beyond the reach and power of every man. Care of the poor is incumbent on society as a whole.

Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor

Charity gives itself rich, covetousness hoards itself poor

Having nothing, nothing can he lose.
