   • 1668, John Denham, Of Justice (poem)

     That liberality is but cast away / Which makes us borrow what we cannot pay.

   • 1842, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Lady Anne Granard, volume 1, page 20:

     She preferred that Lord Rotheles's liberality should take a purely personal direction. Whatever decorations might be lavished upon her dressing-room, the dowager would have to leave them behind her; not so those which filled the prodigality of red morocco cases on her toilette.
