-You cannot consume beyond your appetite. The other
half of the loaf belongs to the other person, and there
should remain a little bread for the chance guest.
-Generosity is not in giving me that which I need more than
you do, but it is in giving me that which you need more than
I do.
-You are indeed charitable when you give, and while giving,
turn your face away so that you may not see the shyness of
the receiver.
-You may judge others only according to your knowledge
of yourself. Tell me now, who among us is guilty and who
is unguilty?
-You cannot judge any man beyond your knowledge of him,
and how small is your knowledge.
-How mean am I when life gives me gold and I give you silver,
and yet I dream myself generous.
