Jean de la Bruyere, French Philosopher

However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.

John Calvin, French Theologian (1509-1564)

No one of this nation ever begs, for the houses of all are common to all; and they consider liberality and hospitality amongst the first virtues.

Giraldus Cambrensis, Welsh Clergyman

Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death; one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear.
