Khalil Gibran and the Art of Giving:

You say, "I give, but only to those who deserve it." "Trees do not say
that, nor do the flocks. They give so they can continue living; to
retain is to die.

He who is worthy to win God's day and night is also worthy of getting
everything he needs. He who deserves to drink from the ocean of life
deserves to fill his bowl from the little stream…

Why demand that a man expose his heart and reveal his pride, so that you
can decide whether he deserves help?

Seek, rather, see if you deserve to. And you, who receives these things,
do not assume any debt of gratitude, lest they create a loop domain with
their benefactors. If we become too concerned with these debts, we will
end up doubting the end of the generosity of the earth and the Father —
and that was really where these donations came from."
