Thoughtful Charity Toward the Poor

By Ruskin

How OFTEN it is difficult to be wisely charitable; to do good without multiplying the sources of evil! To give alms is nothing unless you give thought also. It is written, not "blessed is he that feedeth the poor," but "blessed is he that considereth the poor." A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.—Ruskin.
