Noblesse Oblige
This French phrase (pronounced noh-bles-oh-bleezh) incorporates the idea that privilege entails responsibility. It was used in reference to people of noble birth because they were the people at the time with an abundance of financial means and it assumed an individual had the responsibility to lead others.
In English, the term carries a broader meaning: Those who are capable of helping others have a duty to do so – and that usually means with money.
The missionary martyr James Elliot said, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain that which he cannot lose.” When helping others the giver receives more than the giver – something that cannot be lost.
