The fountain

A certain man placed a fountain by the wayside and he hung up a cup near to it by a little chain. He was told some time after that a great art-critic had found much fault with his design. "But", said he, "do many thirsty persons drink at it?" Then they told him that thousands of poor people, men, women and children, slaked their thirst at this fountain; and he smiled and said, that he was little troubled by the critic's observation, only he hoped that on some sultry summer's day the critic himself might fill the cup, and be refreshed, and praise the name of the Lord (C.H. Spurgeon, All of Grace)
