It is not from your own possessions that you are bestowing alms on the poor, you are but restoring to them what is theirs by right.
For what was given to everyone for the use of all, you have taken for your exclusive use.
The earth belongs not to the rich, but to everyone.
Thus, far from giving lavishly, you are but paying part of your debt.
Saint Ambrose of Milan
