To multiply the harms of Poverty, want and crime, is to be poor, to be wanting and criminal. To suffer with the suffering, to be poor with the poor, to be sick with the sick, to be criminal with the criminal, is to be rich in sympathy and in that which is more precious than money, to be well with the well, to be virtuous with the virtuous.
