How to Treat the Poor: According to the Bible

Leviticus
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.  And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:9-10)

My Life and Work Henry Ford 1922 Quotes From Chapter 1: The Beginning One idea at a time is about as much as any one can handle. ​ In those days we did not have the toys of to-day; what we had were home made. My toys were all tools--they still are! And every fragment of machinery was a treasure.​ ​There is an immense amount to be learned simply by tinkering with things. It is not possible to learn from books how everything is made--and a real mechanic ought to know how nearly everything is made. ​I felt perfectly certain that horses, considering all the bother of attending them and the expense of feeding, did not earn their keep. ​That is the way with wise people--they are so wise and practical that they always know to a dot just why something cannot be done; they always know the limitations.
