Saying / ProverbObject Lesson★★★★
It is not so much the amount of what we give as the circumstances of giving. A single cup of cold water will call forth more gratitude from lips parched with fever—a single beam of sunshine will be received with more thankfulness by the prisoner in his dungeon—than rivers of water and a universe of sunlight bestowed in the ordinary course of free and healthful daily life.
The point
A small gift means more when given amid real need than abundance given casually.
