—George W. Hangford.
1538
The poor, the humble, and your dependents, will often be afraid to ask their due from you: be the more mindful of it yourself.
1539
The poor, who envies not the rich, who pities his companions in poverty, and can spare something for him that is still poorer, is, in the realms of humanity, a king of kings.
1540
The man who says, "Let me wait a little, when I have something to spare, I will relieve the poor," will never relieve them.
