“If you want to be rich, give;
If you want to be poor, grasp!
If you want abundance, scatter;
If you want to be needy, hoard.”

One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. Proverbs 11:24-25
