For a bowl of water give a goodly meal; For a kindly greeting bow thou down with zeal; For a simple penny pay thou back with gold; If thy life be rescued, life do not withhold. Thus the words and actions of the wise regard; Every little service tenfold they reward. But the truly noble know all men as one, And return with gladness good for evil done. β¨ Mahatma Gandhi (1948). Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth, p.31, Courier Corporation
