From Ramayana of the Tulasidas (Non-Violence) - a gujarati didactic stanza...

For a bowl of water give a goodly meal;

For a kindly greeting bow thou down with zeal;

For a simple penny pay thou back with gold;

If thy life be rescued, life do not withhold.

Thus the words and actions of the wise regard;

Every little service tenfold reward.

But the truly noble know all men as one,

And return with gladness good for evil done.
