If you expect something in return for your charity, it isn’t charity.

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

In necessary things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity.

Charity makes no decrease in property.

Having leveled my palace, don’t erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.

The charities of life are scattered everywhere, enameling the vales of human beings as the flowers paint the meadows. They are not the fruit of study, nor the privilege of refinement, but a natural instinct.

Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead.

He is truly great who hath a great charity.

Charity has in it sometimes, perhaps often, a savor of superiority.

Charity is kind, it is not easily provok’d, it thinks no evil, it believes all things, hopes all things.
