Naturally men ought to be charitable, because it's a duty and a pleasure. But just as a matter of policy, if you have no higher motivator, you'll find that the liberal man will command clientele, while the seedy, uncharitable miser will be averted.
The best sort of charity is to help those who are willing to help themselves. Wanton giving, without questioning the worthiness of the applicant, is high-risk in every sense. But to seek out and quietly help those who are scrambling for themselves, is the kind that scatter and yet better. But don’t fall under the idea that some individuals practice, of giving a prayer rather than a potato, and a benediction rather than bread, to the hungry. It's easier to make followers with full stomachs than empty.
Integrity is more cherished than diamonds or rubies. This is very true as if you find it hard to obtain money honestly; some say you are able to easily get it deceitfully. Know that the hardest thing in life is to make cash deceitfully!
Not to know that our prisons are full of men who tried to follow bad advice; not to comprehend that no man may be dishonest, without soon being discovered, and that when his lack of rationale is discovered, nearly every avenue to success is shut forever. The public really properly banish all whose integrity is doubted. Regardless how polite and pleasant and accommodating a man might be, none of us dare to deal with him if we distrust. Strict honesty, not only lies at the foundation of all success in life (financially), but in every additional regard.
Uncompromising integrity of character is priceless. It secures to its owner a peace and joy which can't be attained without it-which no sum of money, or houses and lands may purchase. A man who's known to be strictly truthful, might be ever so poor, but he has the pocketbooks of all the community at his disposal-for all recognize that if he promises to repay what he borrows, he will never disappoint them. As a simple matter of selfishness, consequently, if a man had no greater motive for being honest, all will find that “honesty is the best policy.”
To get rich, isn't always equal to being successful. “There are many rich poor men,” while there are many other people, honest and devout men and women, who have never had so much money as some rich persons blow in a week, but who are nevertheless truly richer and happier than any man may ever be while he's a transgressor of the higher laws of his being.
The excessive love of money, to be sure, might be and is “the root of all evil,” but money itself, when decently used, isn't only a “handy thing to have in the house,” but yields the gratification of blessing our race by enabling its owner to expand the scope of human happiness and human influence. The desire for riches is nearly universal, and none may state it is not praiseworthy, provided the possessor of it accepts its obligations, and utilizes it as a friend to mankind.
