Of goats and sheep

The bread which you do not use is the bread of the hungry.

The garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of him who is naked.

The shoes that you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot.

The money that you keep locked away is the money of the poor.

The acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit.

-St. Basil the great
