Basil The Great Quotes

Basil The Great quote from classy quote

Words are truly the image of the soul.

~ Basil The Great

Basil The Great Soul Words

When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor.

~ Basil The Great

Basil The Great Collectivism Hoarding Money Poverty Sharing

The bread which you hold back belongs to the hungry; the coat, which you guard in your locked storage-chests, belongs to the naked; the footwear mouldering in your closet belongs to those without shoes. The silver that you keep hidden in a safe place belongs to the one in need. Thus, however many are those whom you could have provided for, so many are those whom you wrong.

~ Basil The Great
