'The proverb, "happiness leads to egoism," is only too true; you do not begin to experience compassion for others till you have been yourself in want; well-being and strength sterilize you, and you only perform acts which are vaguely correct, till you are lamed or reduced to poverty.'

St. Lydwine of Schiedam
