The principle of charity takes the massively unusual step of treating others as if they are sane.
In charity there is no excess except selfishness.
Selfishness procrastinates where charity begins.
To give is to get something no one can give.
To be uncharitable is to harm oneself.
A culture of generosity maybe created out of the experiences of leaders who have been deprived.
Don’t be silly; it is in giving that you lose — before you receive.
To have to receive what you wish you could give is harder than having to give what you wish you could keep.
Charity only works if there is responsibility on the other end.
The managers of charity look best without bulging pockets.
Fund raisers may expand the past, but donors want only present-tense truth.
Someone must be strong enough to ask for help for the weak.
Charity mustn’t begin in the home, it must begin in the bone, the deepest core of feeling and compassion.
The greatest acts of philanthropy the world has ever seen went unseen.
To help the very people who harmed you is the highest form of good.
