The exercise of positive efficient benevolence
towards inferiors – brings with it increase of the power which
constitutes superiority. Of two men occupying a position of
equality as regards are the ones others, – the man who contributes
most to the happiness of those others will infallibly become the
most influential, – will dispose of a greater quantity of service. He
will strengthen his position, by augmenting the number of his
good deeds. Every benefit done conferred on others will be
prolific to himself. And the benefits conferred on others strengthen increase
the power of others – & the increase of power in the hands of
those willing to do him service, – is the increase of his
own power. The compound interest brought to effective benevolence
by deeds of benevolence is happily limitless. Of the seeds
scattered by the husbandry of virtue few will turn out
barren.

And the gratitude exhibited towards a man
who has benefited us, is on our parts an act of positive
beneficence.
