Luxury is as much a vice as poverty; The goal of man is to be many, not to have many.

I admired you so much! Transglobal expedition, world travel... What a show! How much money! This is what I always liked about people: hunger, poverty, disease - all this can be corrected. With the help of money. But you don't want to. If only you could take a little break from vanity travel, leisure cruises, and the billionaire space race. If you stopped making movies and TV series for just a year and spent this money on real needs, you would solve everything, and there would still be left...

Be on straw.
Quote Explanation: To find yourself on straw is to find yourself without the means to live, a poor homeless tramp living in stacks of old straw. In the Middle Ages, in the spring, peasants had to remove thatched roofs to feed their livestock and make at least some kind of stew for food.

Listen, what if my soul is worse than my appearance? but am I to blame... I asked nothing from people except bread - they added contempt and ridicule to it... I had heaven, earth and myself, I was rich in all feelings... I saw the sun and was content... But gradually everything disappeared: one thought, one discovery, one drop of poison - beware of this thought, Olga.

- Well, how are you? "Human! That sounds…proud!” Look at us... How can a person sound proud here? Say it with a smile, with a mockery, I, perhaps, would have believed you ...

The best way to serve a beggar is to feed him. If there is no cooked food in the house, food (grains, bread, beans or vegetables) can be given. If he needs medical help, clothes or shelter, also provide all this, because as long as there is a problem of poverty and the state is not willing to take responsibility for its solution, this responsibility lies with the head of the family. You should not encourage begging, but you should not allow a person in really distress to starve to death. Don't give money to a beggar to discourage begging.
