Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it?

A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog. ↗
