Never believe these tales until you investigate them. Invariably you will find not generosity but extravagance and utter lack of forethought, caused the man's financial ruin.
I recall a gifted young woman who gave freely to all who asked her assistance and who died a lingering death as a charity patient in a hospital.
Yet this young woman had expended ten dollars on foolish and rapid living where she gave one in charity; it was her wasteful extravagance, not her open heart of sympathy, which made her a pauper.
It has been my observation that dollars planted in the soil of benevolence grow into harvests of prosperity. The man who is not afraid to use his small means to assist others need not fear poverty.
Woman's Opportunity

The power of prenatal influence which a mother possesses is awe-inspiring to realize.
It has been said upon excellent authority that Napoleon's mother read Roman history with absorbing interest during the months preceding his birth.
