Quotes on Charity
Let the hospitality of the House, with respect to the poor, be kept up; Let no one go hungry away. If any of these kind of People should be in want of Corn, supply their necessities, provided it does not encourage them in idleness; and I have no objection to your giving my Money in Charity, to the Amount of forty or fifty Pounds a Year, when you think it well bestowed. What I mean, by having no objection, is, that it is my desire that it should be done. You are to consider that neither myself or Wife are now in the way to do these good Offices. In all other respects, I recommend it to you, and have no doubts, of your observing the greatest Oeconomy and frugality; as I suppose you know that I do not get a farthing for my services here more than my Expenses; It becomes necessary, therefore, for me to be saving at home.
George Washington
Understand the context.
The world stands in more need of justice than charity, and indeed it is the want of justice that renders charity everywhere so necessary.
Benjamin Rush
The greatest good we can do for anyone is not to share our wealth with them, but rather to reveal their own wealth to them.
Zig Ziglar
If you haven't any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.
Bob Hope
I hear people say: "Oh, if I were only rich, I would do great things to help people." But we can all be rich in love and generosity. Moreover, if we give with care, if we find out the exact wants of those who need our help most, we are giving our own loving interest and concern, which is worth more than all the money in the world.
Albert Schweitzer
The dead take to the grave, clutched in their hands, only what they have given away.
DeWitt Wallace
We must learn to help those who deserve it, not just those who need it. Life responds to deserve not need.
Jim Rohn
If we wish to be compassionate with our fellow man, we must learn to engage in dispassionate analysis. In other words, thinking with our hearts, rather than our brains, is a surefire method to hurt those whom we wish to help.
Walter E. Williams
Wouldn’t it be better for the human spirit and for the soul of this nation to encourage people to accept more responsibility to care for one another, rather than leaving those tasks to paid bureaucrats?
Ronald Wilson Reagan
