1 " It was a dictum of his that the soul's energy thrives when the body's desires are feeblest. "
― Athanasius of Alexandria , The Life Of St. Anthony
2 " It made Daniel think. The people who had the least were the most willing to share. He outlined a dictum that he would believe the rest of his life: the more people have, the less the give. Similarly, generous cultures produce less waste because excess is shared, whereas stingy nations fill their landfills with leftovers. "
