Terry Goodkind. Wizard's second rule or Stone of tears (№ 7164)

Good intentions can encourage lazy minds to idleness. The more you give them, the more they need. And yet your kindness is limitless, they will never learn to discipline and will not learn to rely on themselves. Your kindness will cause damage to their human qualities. If you give a coin it's because he says his family is starving and he spends it on booze, and then kills someone, are you going to blame? No. He killed. But if you didn't give him money and fed him or would go and bring food to his family, the murders would not have happened. Wizard's second Rule: good intentions can cause the greatest evil. Violation of it can have anything from a little problem to global catastrophe.
