The saying belongs to the time when the righteous King takes up His reign and establishes justice in society. Then moral confusion ends, so a corrupt and worthless character is no longer honored with the name of noble and large-hearted generosity. At the same time a grasping miser is no longer credited with openhanded liberality. Instead every person is seen for what he truly is, with inner character and outward acts plainly discerned and rightly named.
