A well-spent day brings happy sleep.

Your world expands with the generosity, compassion,
inventiveness, and service that you contribute.

are strengthened and empowered to help.

We can all have food, and jobs, and love, and happiness.

inventiveness, and service that they contribute.
In this world-view, money that is spent
or given away returns multiplied.

On His Blindness:
When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
And that one Talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest He returning chide,
"Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?"
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies, "God doth not need
Either man's work or his own gifts. Who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is kingly: thousands at his bidding speed,
And post o'er land and ocean without rest;
They also serve who only stand and wait.
- John Milton (1608-1674)
