From Altruism by Karl Ettlinger

Too bad, I've nothing smaller than a centime piece. Of course, you'd rather bring up our Phillip to have a heart of stone. Children should be taught to love people. They must be brought up in that way—to have regard and respect for the most unfortunate fellow beings.
