If you can't feed a hundred people,

Then feed just one.
- Mother Teresa

One can pay back the loan of gold,

But one dies forever in debt to those who are kind.
- Malayan Proverb

I do not pretend to give such a Sum; I only lend it to you.

When you meet with another honest Man in similar Distress,

You must pay me by lending this Sum to him; enjoining him

To discharge the Debt by a like operation, when he shall be able, 

and shall meet with another opportunity. I hope it may thus go 

thro' many hands, before it meets with a Knave that will stop 

its Progress. This is a trick of mine for doing a deal of good 

with a little money.

- Benjamin Franklin
