It iz diffrent from justiss—justiss iz 16 ounces tew the pound, and no more.
Generosity iz sumthing more than justiss, and sumthing less than profusion; it iz the good a man duz, without being able tew give enny reazon for it.
If a man iz alwus genrous he will alwus be right, or will hav a good excuse for what seems tew be wrong.
Generosity iz bravery, and it iz truth: no one ever saw a generous man who waz a coward or a liar.
Generosity sumtimes may lack prudence, but it never lacks faith, and faith haz won holier laurels than prudence ever did.
The generous man chastens hiz gifts with the assurance that the giver iz az happy in the gift az the receiver iz.
He takes the fust swaller out ov the dipper, and smacking hiz lips, insists upon your drinking the balance awl up.
Poverty haz no power over generosity enny more than it haz over love.
This iz my idee ov the kind ov generosity that I am writing about.
