Boreham on Back to Front Generosity

George Moore reveled in giving his money away.

Every New Year’s Day, as he started a new pocket book, he inscribed upon the flyleaf these lines:

“What I spent, I had;
What I saved, I lost;
What I gave, I have.”

F W Boreham, A Casket of Cameos, (London: The Epworth Press, 1924), 14.
