The true challenge of charity is not in the gifting of your trash but of your treasure, not your worst but your best.

Good works is giving to the poor and the helpless, but divine works is showing them their worth to the One who matters.

A thief is one who insists on sharing his victimhood.

Charity by principle that God will bless you in return is to give with a heart of greed rather than with a heart of love.

We are to give (and take) true love without falling into the narcissistic habit of only trying to take it in.
