Liberality is a right or measured habit of doing the right thing with money. He inverts the famous dictum from Socrates—that it is better to suffer evil than to do evil—by saying that it is better to do good than to suffer someone else’s goodness. Applied to money matters, this means that liberality means an acquired habit of giving.
