God loveth a cheerful giver

“So every man, according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver… and God is able to make all grace abound towards you, that ye always having all-sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work, as is written, ‘He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor, his righteousness remaineth forever.’”

— George Fox, 1655
Cofounder of the Religious Society of Friends
