994 Quotes About Charity

What did you say about charity for example? Yet the pleasure of bestowing charity is arrogant and immoral, a rich man's pleasure in his own wealth, power and importance compared with that of a pauper. Charity corrupts both the giver and receiver; in addition, it doesn't achieve its purpose because it merely intensifies the poverty.

Celebrities and politicians telling millions of unemployed people to donate money as they hawk products and beg for political contributions does not inspire charitable thoughts.

It's your intention that determines the true worth of your donation, not the amount.

A construction worker who gives a portion of his income to the helpless has more humanity flowing through his veins than a billionaire philanthropist.

If you want your life to mean something, don't ask how much you have, ask how much you can give.

If almost everyone is in favor of feeding the hungry, the politician may find it in his interest to do so. But, under those circumstances, the politician is unnecessary: some kind soul will give the hungry man a meal anyway. If the great majority is against the hungry man, some kind soul among the minority still may feed him—the politician will not.

Your giving does not have to reflect mine. Be your own kind of ripple. If you have some extra time, give it to a shelter. If you have a special trade, mentor or give advice. If you have a business, give free samples. If you have arms, give hugs. Just give in your own capacity, where you are and watch what a difference that one gesture can make.
