ABOUT CHARITY....

WHAT SOME AUTHORS WRITE ABOUT CHARITY

Charity gives itself rich; covetousness hoards itself poor.--German Proverb.

Charity is never lost; it may meet with ingratitude, or be of no service to those on whom it was bestowed, yet it ever does a work of beauty and grace upon the heart of the giver.--Middleton.

Beneficence is a duty; and he who frequently practices it and sees his benevolent intentions realized, at length comed to love him to whom he has done good.--Kant.

How often it is difficult to be wisely charitable--to do good without multiplying the sources of evil. To give alms is nothing unless you give thought also. It is written, not "blessed is he that feedeth the poor," but, "blessed is he that considereth the poor." A little thought and a little kindness are often worth than a great deal of money.--Ruskin.

The charities that soothe and heal, and bless, lie scattered at the feet of men like flowers.--Wordsworth.

Every good act is charity. Your smiling in your brother's face, is charity; an exhortation of your fellow-man to virtuous deeds, is equal to alms-giving; your putting a wanderer in the right road, is charity; your removing stones, and thorns, and other obstructions from the road, is charity; your giving water to the thirsty, is charity. A man's true wealth hereafter, is the good he does in this world to his fellow-man. When he dies people will say, "What property has he left behind him?" but the angels will will ask, "What good deeds has he sent before him."--Mahomet.
