It is one of the most deplorable things in the history of literature to see a man endowed with Diderot's generous conceptions and high social aims, forced to stoop to these odious economies. In reading his Prospectus, and still more directly in his article, Encyclopédie, we are struck by the beneficence and breadth of the great designs which inspire and support him.
Selby; and when, at his death, Isaura, in the innocent age between childhood and youth, had been left the most sorrowful and most lonely creature on the face of the earth, this famous woman, worshipped by the rich for her intellect, adored by the poor for her beneficence, came to the orphan's friendless side, breathing love once more into her pining heart, and waking for the first time the desires of genius, the aspirations of art, in the dim self-consciousness of a soul between sleep and waking.
"Beneficence," replied Kai Lung, with courteous ease, despite the pinions that restrained him, "herein it is one thing to demand and another to comply, for among the Platitudes is the admission made: 'No needle has two sharp points.

The rest of the life of Vincent de Paul would be too lengthy to tell here, though acts of beneficence and self-devotion shine out in glory at each step.

For we have not here an abiding city, but we earnestly seek that which is to come. By him therefore let us offer a sacrifice of praise perpetually to God, that is the fruit of our lips confessing his name. But of beneficence, and liberal distribution, be not unmindful: for such sacrifices God accepts with delight.
The Indian, before the coming of the white man, erected no temples in honor of his divinities; for he venerated them only so long as they conferred physical benefits upon him; and his idea of beneficence was wholly concrete.
He came to the composer's aid in the darkest years of his career during that long exile after Wagner had been obliged to flee from Germany because of his participation in the revolution of 1848.
