" Charity is no substitute for justice withheld. "

Saint Augustine

Justice , Charity

" Too often, charity is extended to another when his actions or conduct are acceptable to us. The exhibition of charity to another must not be dependent on his performance. It should be given because of who we are-not because of how we behave. "

H. Burke Peterson

Inspiration , Charity

" We live in a society which salves its conscience more by helping the interestingly unfortunate than the dull deserving. "

" It is better for me to serve a charity as an actor or a voice, rather than at a luncheon being just a celebrity. "

" God, who needs nothing, loves into existence wholly superfluous creatures in order that He may love and perfect them. He creates the universe, already foreseeing - or should we say "seeing"? there are no tenses in God - the buzzing cloud of flies about the cross, the flayed back pressed against the uneven stake, the nails driven through the mesial nerves, the repeated incipient suffocation as the body droops, the repeated torture of back and arms as it is time after time, for breath's sake, hitched up. If I may dare the biological image, God is a "host" who deliberately creates His own parasites; causes us to be that we may exploit and "take advantage of" Him. Herein is love. This is the diagram of Love Himself, the inventor of all loves. "

" Of the twelve companions of Thorin, ten remained. Fili and Kili had fallen defending him with shield and body, for he was their mother‚Äôs elder brother. "

Death , Charity

" When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed. "

Compassion , Charity

" That day, I learned that I could be a giver by simply bringing a smile to another person. The ensuing years have taught me that a kind word, a vote of support is a charitable gift. I can move over and make another place for someone. I can turn my music up if it pleases, or down if it is annoying. I may never be known as a philanthropist, but I certainly am a lover of mankind, and I will give freely of my resources. "

Gifts , Charity

" You often say, ‚ÄúI would give, but only to the deserving.‚ÄùThe trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture.They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish. "

Charity , Give
