“A new disease? I know not, new or old,
But it may well be called poor mortals’ plague:
For, like a pestilence, it doth infect
The houses of the brain ...
Till not a thought, or motion, in the mind,
Be free from the black poison of suspect.”
—Ben Jonson (c. 1572–1637)
“Prov Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and will be repaid in full.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 19:17.
