Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion.
Charity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a
Charity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a good soil that yields an abundance of fruits. But alms given to those who are yet under the tyrannical yoke of the passions are like seed deposited in a bad soil. The passions of the receiver of the alms choke, as it were, the growth of merits.
