231. Give to the poor and add glory unto thy name : there is no greater profit for man than this.

232. The one theme in the mouth of all that praise is the glory of those that give unto the poor.

233. Everything else dieth on earth : but the fame that hath no rival endureth for ever.

234. Behold the man that hath won a lasting, world-wide fame: the Gods on high prefer him even before saints.

235. The ruin that addeth unto fame and the death that bringeth glory belong only to the great-souled. Rh
