"The Good Samaritan wasn't afraid of pauperizing that poor devil on the road." "Let him starve. He will have preserved his self-respect. The Good Samaritan knew nothing of political economy, sir." Jane left her breakfast untasted.
At that time I, too, believed in the system of charities which you have so well characterized as pauperizing." "And now?" Mr. Bentley smiled, as at a reminiscence. "My eyes were opened," he replied, and in these simple words summed up and condemned it all. "They are craving bread, and we fling them atones. I came here.
The one great charitable institution of our times, founded upon a logical basis, carried out with a devotion and a self-sacrifice beyond all praise, he finds pernicious and pauperizing, because, forsooth, the drunkard and criminals are welcome to avail themselves of it, because it seeks to help those who save for such help must remain brutes themselves and a brutalizing influence to others."

If one gets a lira put into small coppers, one can give them a couple of centesimi apiece without feeling that one is pauperizing them, but that one is fostering the begging habit in young Italy is a more difficult sin to face.
