The friend of all humanity is no friend to me.

If you would help another man, you must do so in minute particulars.

The deed is everything, the glory naught.

I love everyone now that I have gray hair.

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.

A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity.

Do not ask me to be kind; just ask me to act as though I were.

Charity is murder and you know it.

Too many people have decided to do without generosity in order to practice charity.

Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all.

I know what I have given you. I do not know what you have received.

The gratitude is greater than the gift.

They say that gifts persuade even the gods.
