Excerpt from The Philosophy of Henry George
One gave him mirth and humor, that the tragedy of life might be lightened, and he was, therefore, always sane. One gave him courage, that he might look undaunted on all that mortals may see. One gave him eloquence, that his thoughts might find expression, charming to the ears of men. One gave him logic, that the thoughts which entered the ears of men might find lodgment in their brains; but most blest of all the gifts bestowed was the gift of poverty, for from this gift came pity for the sorrows and sufferings of men, and this is the key to his philosophy. Through the tears which pity shed, his mind's eye saw, as the astronomer with the telescope views the heavens, the sights which are denied to common eyes.
