Voltaire And St. Basil The Great: On Goodness And Guilt

"The bread which you do not use is the bread of the hungry.
The garments hanging in your wardrobe are the garments of those who are naked.
The shoes that you do not wear are the shoes of one who is barefoot.
The money you keep locked away is the money of the poor.
The acts of charity you do not perform are so many injustices you commit." 
(I was educated by the Basilian order at Aquinas Institute, Rochester, New York, and St. Michael's College, University of Toronto)
