Jean de la Bruyere, French Philosopher

However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.

No one of this nation ever begs, for the houses of all are common to all; and they consider liberality and hospitality amongst the first virtues.

Giraldus Cambrensis, Welsh Clergyman

Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death; one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear.
