"The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry man; the coat hanging unused in your closet belongs to the man who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the man who has no shoes; the money you hoard up belongs to the poor."
-- St. Basil the Great (from a homily on the Gospel of Luke)
