To wipe all tears from off all faces is a task too hard for mortals;
but to alleviate misfortunes is often within the most limited power:
yet the opportunities which every day affords of relieving the most
wretched of human beings are overlooked and neglected with equal
disregard of policy and goodness.
-- Samuel Johnson: Rambler #107

What signifies, says some one, giving halfpence to beggars? they only
lay it out in gin or tobacco. "And why should they be denied such
sweeteners of their existence (says Johnson)? it is surely very savage
to refuse them every possible avenue to pleasure, reckoned too coarse
for our own acceptance. Life is a pill which none of us can bear to
swallow without gilding; yet for the poor we delight in stripping it
still barer, and are not ashamed to shew even visible displeasure, if
ever the bitter taste is taken from their mouths.

He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who
closes his eyes to them receives many curses.
