Censorship, like charity, should begin at home; but, unlike charity, it should end there.
—Clare Booth Luce
In nothing does man, with his grand notions of heaven and charity, show forth his innate, wild animalism more clearly than in his treatment of his brother beasts. From the shepherd with his lambs to the red-handed hunter, it is the same: no recognition of rights — only murder in one form or another.
—John Muir
I don't believe in charity. I believe in solidarity. Charity is so vertical. It goes from the top to the bottom. Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other person and learns from the other. I have a lot to learn from other people.
—Eduardo Galeano
The appalling thing is the degree of charity women are capable of. You see it all the time . . . love lavished on absolute fools. Love's a charity ward, you know.
—Lawrence Durrell
Reconsider your definitions. We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobiles rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to mankind.
—Martin Luther King Jr.
Next to a circus there ain't nothing that packs up and tears out faster than the Christmas spirit.
—Kin Hubbard
Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.
—Henry Ward Beecher
If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
—Mother Teresa
Too many have dispensed with generosity in order to practice charity.
—Albert Camus
One of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity.
—Andrew Carnegie
The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.
—Francis Maitland Balfour
The living need charity more than the dead.
—George Arnold
Charity sees the need not the cause.
—German Proverb
A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.
—Jack London
In charity there is no excess.
—Francis Bacon
