Quote by Samuel Johnson
You cannot spend money in luxury without doing good to the poor. N

You cannot spend money in luxury without doing good to the poor. Nay, you do more good to them by spending it in luxury, than by giving it for by spending it in luxury, you make them exert industry, whereas by giving it, you keep them idle. – Samuel Johnson
