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

Charity is murder and you know it.

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

They say that gifts persuade even the gods. 

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

Without virtue, both riches and honor, to me, seem like the passing cloud.

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.

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

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

Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.

I love everyone now that I have gray hair.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

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