Talmud for Proverbs 22:9
טֽוֹב־עַ֭יִן ה֣וּא יְבֹרָ֑ךְ כִּֽי־נָתַ֖ן מִלַּחְמ֣וֹ לַדָּֽל׃
He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; For he giveth of his bread to the poor.
Tractate Derekh Eretz Zuta
Judge your fellow in the scale of merit2Seek a favourable interpretation of his actions even though they seem suspicious. Cf. Aboth I, 6 (Sonc. ed., p. 5). and do not turn the scale against him.3Take a charitable view of his deeds. Rejoice in your lot and enjoy the little you have. Hate not him who reproves you. Your lot will always be blessed if you possess a bountiful eye4Well disposed, generous; cf. Prov. 22, 9. and a contented soul.
