SCRIPTURE

"Most men will proclaim every one his own kindness; But a faithful man who can find?" — Proverbs 20:6 (ASV)

Goodness - With the special sense of bounty, beneficence. Contrast promise and performance. People boast of their liberality, yet we look in vain for the fulfillment of actual obligations.
