Generosity should never exceed ability. [ Cicero ]

Our generosity never should exceed our abilities. [ Cicero ]

The guilt being great, the fear doth still exceed. [ William Shakespeare ]

We should be careful that our benevolence does not exceed our means. [ Cicero ]

He is rich whose income is more than his expenses; and he is poor whose expenses exceed his income. [ Bruyere ]

I scarcely exceed the middle age of man; yet between infancy and maturity I have seen ten revolutions! [ Lamartine ]

No man is rich whose expenditures exceed his means; and no one is poor whose incomings exceed his outgoings. [ Haliburton ]

No man is rich whose expenditure exceeds his means; and no one is poor whose incomings exceed his outgoings. [ Haliburton ]

Emulation is grief arising from seeing one's self exceeded or excelled by his concurrent, together with hope to equal or exceed him in time to come, by his own ability. But envy is the same grief joined with pleasure conceived in the imagination of some ill-fortune that may befall him. [ Thomas Hobbes ]

Pain itself is not without its alleviations. It may be violent and frequent, but it is seldom both violent and long-continued; and its pauses and intermissions become positive pleasures. It has the power of shedding a satisfaction over intervals of ease, which, I believe, few enjoyments exceed. [ Paley ]

Neighborhood or Vicinity? Neighborhood means the place which is nigh, that is, nigh to one's habitation; vicinity primarily means the place which does not exceed in distance the extent of a village. Neighborhood refers to the inhabitants, or to inhabited places, and denotes nearness of persons to each other, or to objects; as, a populous neighborhood, vicinity denotes nearness of one object to another, whether person or thing; as, Oakland is in the vicinity of San Francisco.
