ON “LIKE A RIVER”

Basil of Caesarea said: “Fling wide your doors; give your wealth free passage everywhere! As a great river flows by a thousand channels through fertile country, so let your wealth run through many conduits to the homes of the poor. Wells that are drawn from flow the better; left unused, they go foul.… Money kept standing idle is worthless, but moving and changing hands benefit the community and increase.”
