That bread which you keep
belongs to the hungry;
that coat which you preserve in your wardrobe,
to the naked;
those shoes which are rotting in your possession,
to the shoeless;
that gold which you have hidden in the ground,
to the needy.
Wherefore, as often as you are able to help others, and refuse,
so often did you do them wrong. — Augustine
If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered" (Prov. 21:13)
