Nothing more strongly marks the insufficiency of luxuries than the ease with which people grow accustomed to them they are rather known by their want than by their presence. The word 'blasé' has been coined expressly for the use of the upper classes.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
charity is a calm, severe duty it must be intellectual, to be advantageous. It is a strange mistake that it should ever be considered a merit its fulfillment is only what we owe to each other, and is a debt never paid to its full extent.
