charity

Once you go on welfare it changes you. Even if you get off welfare, you never escape the stigma that you were a charity case. You're scarred for life.

The greatest gift you can ever give is yourself.

The Celebrity Charity Industrial Complex Makes a Mockery of Compassion

Saint Augustine _ insisted that scripture taught nothing but charity. Whatever the biblical author may have intended, any passage that seemed to preach hatred and was not conducive to love must be interpreted allegorically and made to speak of charity.

Hearts who struggled worst never gives up on possibilities when finding solutions reaching out for others' loss & despair.

Let's put our money where our mouth is; let's invest in the future by investing in the education of our youth and the re-education of those who need it and aren't so young anymore. It's not charity; it's an investment in the mental, intellectual, and social infrastructure of our country and our planet. Charity is something you give to corporations when they commit crimes of fraud and plunge the world into economic turmoil.

Lady Kingsley, when you read this, do attempt to keep an open mind.___ will if you will,_ she retorted hotly.To her surprise, he chuckled. __ daresay neither of us will. It__ a pity, too, because if we could ever see our way clear to agreeing on a matter, we might accomplish a great deal of good in this world.__t infuriated her that he could pretend to care even one whit for these boys. __ow you__e confused me. I__ assumed that your reason for serving on so many charitable boards was to further your political aims. Yet all the time you were merely hoping to accomplish some __ood in this world._ How very astonishing.__ust that quickly, his amusement vanished. __hile I don__ pretend to be as morally superior as you and your late husband, my intentions are good, no matter what you make of them. It may shock you to learn that those of us with character flaws sometimes do as much good as those of you without.

I beg...I don__ think that__ a contradiction at all. I don__ hold people up or threaten them. They give me money because they want to. It's a service. The satisfaction they get from giving me money is worth more to them than the money they give. You are a naïve little man if you think that people give charity for the good of others. The good of others is so difficult to quantify. All that people know is their own satisfaction. The vast majority of people who donate to charities do so to make others notice them and think of them as magnanimous and good hearted. Sure, there are those who donate in anonymity. These people are only trying to feel better about themselves. They don__ desire the approval of others, but they still seek to fulfill their satisfaction using another person. Really, they are no different than a patron of a brothel. The satisfaction they seek isn__ sexual, but what__ the difference? I provide a huge service for those people. They are looking to exchange a few bucks for a man__ dignity.

Charity is merely returning what we have stolen.

We are not to reflect on the wickedness of men but to look to the image of God in them, an image which, covering and obliterating their faults, an image which, by its beauty and dignity, should allure us to love and embrace them.

Begging for love but charitised... in turn!

Not until the creation and maintenance of decent conditions of life for all people are recognized and accepted as a common obligation of all people and all countries - not until then shall we, with a certain degree of justification, be able to speak of humankind as civilized.

Charity ain't giving people what you wants to give, it's giving people what they need to get.

You will find out that Charity is a heavy burden to carry, heavier than the kettle of soup and the full basket. But you will keep your gentleness and your smile. It is not enough to give soup and bread. This the rich can do. You are the servant of the poor, always smiling and good-humored. They are your masters, terribly sensitive and exacting master you will see. And the uglier and the dirtier they will be, the more unjust and insulting, the more love you must give them. It is only for your love alone that the poor will forgive you the bread you give to them.

The greatest work you will ever do is charity; the most divine work you will ever do will be changing people__ perception of God, while you__e doing charity.

Sharing is just like spending, we give or spend for others while hoping them to be happy and better. At this way we can accept and find in our hearts the happiness that we want.

If all of us in the world just shared love, just a little, charity foundations wouldn__ be needed.

Listening and showing you are there for someone is often more important than trying to find a "fix" for a problem. I wish there were more people who practice this.
