Conquer anger
with lack of anger;
bad, with good;
stinginess, with generosity;
a liar, with truth.
-- Dhammapada 223[1]
What the miser fears,
that keeps him from giving,
is the very danger that comes
when he doesn't give.
-- Sutta Nipata I.32[2]
No misers go
to the world of the devas.
Those who don't praise giving
are fools.
The enlightened
express their approval for giving
and so find ease
in the world beyond.
