He giveth twice who gives in a trice.

Prompt help has greater worth than the same help offered after delay. Someone in need may benefit as much from timeliness as from the gift itself, so quick generosity can feel like an additional act of giving.

The saying, with its archaic “giveth,” has an old-fashioned literary tone. It commends acting without needless hesitation when aid is clearly needed, but does not require rash giving or pressure anyone into unconsidered or unsafe assistance.

Use it to encourage timely practical help, donations, or responses to an urgent request where delay would worsen hardship or make support less useful. Its old-fashioned wording suits reflective or literary contexts; do not use it to pressure someone into unsafe or unconsidered aid.
