If you haven't any charity in your heart,
you have the worst kind of heart trouble.
--Bob Hope
Make your thinking orderly and free from emotional overtones,
and you will see people and things as they are, with clarity and charity
--Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Peace, like charity, begins at home.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt
Nine requisites for contented living:
Health enough to make work a pleasure.
Wealth enough to support your needs.
Strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them.
Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them.
Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished.
Charity enough to see some good in your neighbor.
Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others.
Faith enough to make real the things of God.
Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
A little more patience, a little more charity for all,
a little more devotion, a little more love; with less bowing
down to the past, and a silent ignoring of pretended authority;
brave looking forward to the future with more faith in our fellows,
and the race will be ripe for a great burst of light and life.
--Elbert Hubbard
Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever
bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to
him but to God that the gift was made.
--Antoine de Saint-Exupery
