101. Behold the kindness done without any obligation: even the heavens and the earth are too poor to repay it.

102. A kindness done in the hour of need may look small : but it outweigheth the whole world.

103. Behold the kindness done without thought of recompense : it is mightier than the ocean.

104. The benefit received may be small even like a millet seed: but in the eyes of the just its measure is that of a palmyra tree.

105. Gratitude is not limited by the assistance given: it is bounded only by the nobility of him that receiveth it. Rh
