And now
abideth faith, hope and charity, these three, but the
greatest of these is charity. [Corinthians]
-- Bible
Sacred Scriptures of
Christians and Judaism
And though I
bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my
body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me
nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity
envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.
[New Test.]

A man who sees
another man on the street corner with only a stump for an
arm will be so shocked the first time he'll give him
sixpence. But the second time it'll only be a three penny
bit. And if he sees him a third time, he'll have him
cold-bloodedly handed over to the police.

my palace, don't erect a hovel and complacently admire your

Charity But
how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are
uncharitable to ourselves? Charity begins at home, is the
voice of the world; yet is every man his greatest enemy,
and, as it were, his own executioner.

Be charitable
