I ever heard some quote like this:
No one has ever become poor by Giving.
I like to know, is Buddha ever said something like that?
Or maybe commentaries, sutta, etc.
Thank you

“Well, chief, I recollect ninety-one eons back but I’m not aware of any family that’s been ruined merely by offering some cooked almsfood. Rather, rich, affluent, and wealthy families—with lots of gold and silver, lots of property and assets, and lots of money and grain—all acquired their wealth because of generosity, truth, and restraint.
It’s different from “become poor by giving.” If you wake up today and give away all your money and possessions, then by the time you wake up tomorrow you will be poor. But that’s not what the Buddha was talking about here.
