Having a glass of blessings standing by,

Let the world’s riches, which dispersed lie,
Contract into a span.””

“In my opinion it is harmful to place important things in the hands of philanthropy, which in Russia is marked by a chance character. Nor should important matters depend on leftovers, which are never there. I would prefer that the government treasury take care of it.”
