4. To give cheerfully, proportionately, and unsolicited, but to put the gift
into the poor person's hand, thus creating shame.
5. To give in such a way that the distressed may know their benefactor,
without being known to him or her.
6. To know the objects of our bounty, but remain unknown to them.
7. To give so that the benefactor may not know those whom he has relieved,
and they shall not know him.
8. To prevent poverty by teaching a trade, setting a person up in business,
or in some other way preventing the need of charity.

[Invictus]

Today I gave a modest donation to one of our local casinos.

[SouthernStud]

I gave a beautiful woman a well deserved comliment
I gave my Pitt the warmth of staying inside instead of in the snow
I gave a shoulder to cry on to my friend
And i gave time down at the local mission
