Charity

The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.
- Francis Maitland Balfour
Charity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Charity

1.
Charity begins at home.
Terence

2.
A man who sees another man on the street corner with only a stump for an arm will be so shocked the first time he'll give him sixpence. But the second time it'll only be a three penny bit. And if he sees him a third time, he'll have him cold-bloodedly handed over to the police.
Brecht, Bertolt

3.
Do not tell me of my obligation to put all poor men in good situations. Are they my poor? I tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist, that I grudge the dollar, the dime, the cent, I give to such men as do not belong to me and to whom I do not belong.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

4.
Be charitable before wealth makes you covetous.
Browne, Sir Thomas

5.
The truly generous is the truly wise, and he who loves not others, lives unblest.
Home, Henry

6.
Sometimes when I'm swimming, I think that maybe someday I'll put my red Speedo up for auction. Or maybe I'll donate it to the Smithsonian. They can stuff it with twoplums and a gherkin and put it on display.
Duchovny, David

7.
The giving is the hardest part; what does it cost to add a smile?
Bruyere, Jean De La

8.
As for charity, it is a matter in which the immediate effect on the persons directly concerned, and the ultimate consequence to the general good, are apt to be at complete war with one another.
Mill, John Stuart

9.
Only great souls know the grandeur there is in charity.
Bossuet, Jacques BeNigne

Weil, Simone

11.
Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.
Augustine, St.

12.
The living need charity more than the dead.
George Arnold

13.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. [New Test.]
Bible

14.
Charity is the scope of all God's commands.
Chrysosatom, St. John

15.
Not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much.
Fromm, Erich

16.
In charity there is no excess.
Sir Francis Bacon

17.
Should we grieve over a little misplaced charity, when an all knowing, all wise Being showers down every day his benefits on the unthankful and undeserving?
Atterbury, Francis

18.
The appalling thing is the degree of charity women are capable of. You see it all the time... love lavished on absolute fools. Love's a charity ward, you know.
Durrell, Lawrence

19.
God loveth a cheerful giver. [2 Corinthians 9:7]
Bible

20.
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. [Mathew 6:2-3]
Bible

21.
The charitable give out the door and God puts it back through the window.
Proverb

Teach us to give and not count the cost.
Loyola, St. Ignatius

It is more agreeable to have the power to give than to receive.
Churchill, Winston

25.
Charity: a thing that begins at home, and usually stays there.
Hubbard, Elbert

26.
You are much surer that you are doing good when you pay money to those who work, as the recompense of their labor, than when you give money merely in charity.
Johnson, Samuel

27.
The best loved by God are those that are rich, yet have the humility of the poor, and those that are poor and have the magnanimity of the rich.
Saadi

28.
They take the paper and they read the headlines. So they've heard of unemployment and they've heard of bread-lines. And they philanthropically cure them all by getting up a costume charity ball.
Nash, Ogden

29.
To give requires good sense.
Ovid

30.
Charity sees the need, not the cause.
Proverb, German

31.
The charity that hastens to proclaim its good deeds, ceases to be charity, and is only pride and ostentation.
William Hutton

32.
A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.
Jack London

Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
