For I was an hungred,
and ye gave me meat: I was
thirsty, and ye gave me drink:

me in.

me: I was sick, and ye visited
me: I was in prison, and ye
came to me.

give than to receive.

Holy Bible
Any one can get angry - that is easy - or give or spend money; but to do this to the right person, to the right
extent, at the right time, with the right motive, and in the right way, that is not for every one, nor is it easy.
Aristotle
The living need charity more than the dead.
George Arnold
He is rich who hath enough to be charitable.
Thomas Browne
Men who continue hoarding great sums all their lives, the proper use of which for the public ends would work good to
the community, should be made to feel that the community, in the form of the state, cannot thus be deprived of its proper
share. By taxing estates heavily at death the state marks its condemnation of the selfish millionaire's unworthy life.
Andrew Carnegie
The man who dies rich dies disgraced.
Andrew Carnegie
The more we ask, the more we have.
And, it is fair enough: asking is not always easy.
And it is said to be hard to accept ...
So no wonder we have so little.
Ivy Compton-Burnett
There are only two fools in this world. One is the millionaire who thinks that by hoarding money he can somehow accumulate real power, and the other is
the penniless reformer who thinks that if only he can take the money away from one class and give it to another, all the world's ills will be cured.
Henry Ford
It is better to give than to lend, and it costs about the same.
Philip Gibbs
Teach us, good Lord, to serve Thee as Thou deservest;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;
To toil and not to seek for rest;
To labour and not to ask for any reward
Save that of knowing that we do Thy will.
Ignatius
A decent provision for the poor is the true test of civilization.
Samuel Johnson
Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to
overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary.
Martin Luther King Jr.
People often feed the hungry so that nothing may disturb their own enjoyment of a good meal.
W. Somerset Maugham
Money is like manure. If you spread it around, it does a lot of good, but if you pile it up in one place, it stinks like hell.
Clint Murchison
Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.
Dorothy Parker

The more is given the less the people will work for themselves, and the less they work the more their poverty will increase.
Leo Tolstoy
The more good I do, the more money has come in. You have to learn to give. You're not born to give. You're born selfish.
Ted Turner
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
Mark Twain
Simple rules for saving money: To save half, when you are fired by an eager impulse to contribute to
charity, wait, and count to forty. To save three-quarters, count sixty. To save it all, count sixty-five.
Mark Twain
The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is.
Lao Tzu
Behold, I do not give lectures or a little charity, When I give I give myself.
Walt Whitman
If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character
is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish pig.
Woodrow Wilson
