They are so ingenuous and free with all they have, that no one would believe it who has not seen it; of anything they have, if you ask them for it, they never say no; rather, they invite you to share it, and show as much love as if they were giving their hearts; and whether the thing be of value or of little worth, they are straightway content with whatever trifle of whatever kind may be given to them.
— Christopher Columbus
