True Beneficence: its Thoughtfulness
Galatians 2:10
Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.


How difficult it is to be wisely charitable; to do good without multiplying the sources of evil! To give alms is nothing unless you give thought also. It is written, not "blessed is he that feedeth the poor," but "blessed is he that considereth the poor." A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a deal of money.

(Ruskin.)
