"The other day I received fifteen dollars from a man who has been paralyzed for twenty years. The paralysis only allows him to use his right hand. The only company he tolerates is tobacco. He told me, 'I have stopped smoking for a week. I'm sending you the money I've saved from not buying cigarettes.' It must have been a horrible sacrifice for him. I bought bread with his money, and I gave it to those who were hungry. So both the giver and those who received experienced joy."
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
