Money

"Never ask for a loan. Debt turns a man into dog. But if someone asks you, always give gladly, - if you can. Give especially to him whose eyes speak the plea of affliction, and who asks in shame. And do not regard such a man as a dog, but as a brother. On the contrary, never give to a gambler, to a show-off, to a drunkard, or to a flatterer. They are better turned away from you."
