अत्रिसंहिता - दान

अहन्यहनि दातव्यं अदीनेनांतरात्मना ।
स्तोकादपि प्रयत्नेन दानमित्यभिधीयते ॥

- अत्रिसंहिता

It should not matter if you are poor. If you do not feel self-pity and help others even with the little that you have, then it is called real donation. [There is nothing great in donating excess money. It is one's duty to do so]
