The truth is, the people who are going to be affected the most are frail, are children, are the elderly and (with) this organization, the money goes directly to health care and helping these people and getting them well.

My favorite charity is the Womens Refugee Commission and the Nomi network.

When people grow gradually rich their requirements and standard of living expand in proportion, while their present-giving instincts often remain in the undeveloped condition of their earlier days. Something showy and not-too-expensive in a shop is their only conception of the ideal gift.

For Christians, the reason why it is ordinarily assumed that a marriage will go on "till death do us part" has been that this advanced lesson in Charity which marriage opens into is a long, a difficult one, and the life span that my spouse and I are allowed will certainly not be nearly long enough to finish the lesson... I will have as much as I can do to learn this advanced lesson well with one other person; a harem will only confuse my efforts.

I tried to get her to join groups in Washington where they had charity groups for young professionals. I tried to get her to meet young men her own age. I asked her all kinds of things, ... I did what mothers do when they're trying to get a grown-up child off a bad course. But I, myself, could not control this situation. I tried to. I could not control it.

It's an opportunity for local and area Pagans to get together with each other. It's an opportunity to raise some money for charity and to enjoy each others' company.

It's something different that I've never done before. Spending this much time on a project is tedious at some points, but it's also really exciting to me. And then there's the charity work we'll be doing. All of that drew me to it and made me want to be part of it.

I told Phil I don't want this to be a charity case or sentimental pick. That's not what Phil is about. He's a standup guy and he's going to be honest with me. This is what he wanted. He wanted me to be here and he wanted me to get an opportunity to play, because he thinks I can do something.

It was probably wrong on our part to agree to the size of the honorarium that we were offered. Yet, despite all the hue and cry, let us not forget that 95 percent of the honorarium was really transferred for charity purposes.

We found that the combined annual total of bakery food donated to charity was an astonishing 750,000 pounds. And this estimate is actually very low because a lot of the members were unavailable for the survey.

I think there is an immense shortage of Christian charity among so-called Christians.

To give is to receive...

Being a charity trustee is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to a cause you care about. Everyone has skills and experiences that could be useful to charities - from marketing skills to understanding the mental health system or simply knowing your local area well.

Sometimes give your services for nothing.

Donald Trump is the first candidate ever to run for president in the last 40-plus years who has not released his tax returns, so everything he says about charity or anything else, we can't prove it.

Nothing leads more directly to the breach of charity, and to the injury and molestation of our fellow-creatures, than the indulgence of an ill temper.

Charity may cover a multitude of sins, but success transmutes them into virtues.

Beneficence is a duty. He who frequently practices it, and sees his benevolent intentions realized, at length comes really to love him to whom he has done good. When, therefore, it is said, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," it is not meant, thou shalt love him first and do him good in consequence of that love, but, thou shalt do good to thy neighbor; and this thy beneficence will engender in thee that love to mankind which is the fulness and consummation of the inclination to do good.

Proportion thy charity to the strength of thine estate, lest God proportion thine estate to the weakness of thy charity. Let the lips of the poor be the trumpet of thy gift, lest in seeking applause, thou lose thy reward. Nothing is more pleasing to God than an open hand and a closed mouth.

If thou neglectest thy love to thy neighbor, in vain thou professest thy love to God; for by thy love to God, the love to thy neighbor is begotten, and by the love to thy neighbor thy love to God is nourished.

Flatter not thyself in thy faith to God, if thou wantest charity for thy neighbor; and think not thou halt charity for thy neighbor, if thou wantest faith to God; where they are not both together, they are both wanting; they are both dead, if once divided.

...perhaps charity is the kind of beauty that we comprehend the best because we miss it the most.

Perhaps the sexual life is the great test. If we can survive it with charity to those we love and with affection to those we have betrayed, we needn't worry so much about the good and the bad in us. But jealousy, distrust, cruelty, revenge, recrimination ... then we fail. The wrong is in that failure even if we are the victims and not the executioners. Virtue is no excuse.

Charity is to be measured, not by what one has given away, but by what one has left.

Entrepreneurs are the seekers of solutions, and that they will go into these places where both market and traditional aid has failed or traditional charity has failed.

As a young woman, I dreamed of changing the world. In my twenties, I went to Africa to try and save the continent, only to learn that Africans neither wanted nor needed saving. Indeed, when I was there, I saw some of the worst that good intentions, traditional charity, and aid can produce...

I have seen that traditional approaches to charity and aid don't solve problems of poverty. In fact, too often they create dependence.

Traditional charity and aid are never going to solve the problems of poverty.

A sort of moral blackmail is exerted from both poles. The underclass, one gathers, should be dulled with charity and welfare provision lest it turn nasty. The upper class must likewise be conciliated by vast handouts, lest it lose the "incentive" to go on generating wealth.

Love is born of faith, lives on hope, and dies of charity.

Justice is charity in accordance with wisdom.

Help a man against his will and you do the same as murder him.

How white are the fair robes of Charity as she walketh amid the lowly habitations of the poor!

True charity is spontaneous and finds its own occasion; it is never the offspring of importunity, nor of emulation.

The habit of being uniformly considerate towards others will bring increased happiness to you.

Charity, like poetry, should be cultivated, if only for its being graceful.

True charity ought to begin in marriage, for it is a relationship that must be rebuilt every day.

Every year Steve Kaufman supports the charity “Love Ride” by donating a painting to this cause.

Foundations exist to help charities, to help those in need. And Mr. Trump has been incredibly generous throughout his career.

I once had a letter from a man who asked to do something very weird. He told me he wanted to sit on my shoulders and for me to then walk around his town to raise money for charity. He described himself as being 6ft and I was thinking, 'I'm only 5ft 4in, and you want to sit on my shoulders?' How bizarre.

Sometimes a man imagines that he will lose himself if he gives himself, and keep himself if he hides himself. But the contrary takes place with terrible exactitude.

I don't think anyone who genuinely embraced sincerity, charity and modesty could be intolerant or divisive.

If any Muslim plants any plant and a human being or an animal eats of it, he will be rewarded as if he had given that much in charity.

Even a smile can be charity.

In charity, every little bit works. You can't change the world. You can't do everything. But you sure try to bring awareness and do as much as you can.

A charity dollar has only one life; a Social Business dollar can be invested over and over again.

Charity only perpetuates poverty by taking the initiative away from the poor.

This is not charity. This is business: business with a social objective, which is to help people get out of poverty.

The charity of good women is such that their 'love makes no parade'; they are not glad 'when others go wrong'; they are too busy serving to sit statusfully about, waiting to be offended.

That's why charity work is very selfish at the same time, because it makes you feel good.

It is quite fitting that charity should begin at home ... but then it should not end at home; for those that help nobody will find none to help them in time of need.

Charity should always be a constant.
