If you give what you do not need, it is not giving.

Charity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a good soil that yields an abundance of fruits. But alms given to those who are yet under the tyrannical yoke of the passions are like seed deposited in a bad soil. The passions of the receiver of the alms choke, as it were, the growth of merits.

If you knew what I know about the power of giving you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.

Peace, like charity, begins at home.

There are many people in South Africa who are rich and who can share those riches with those not so fortunate who have not been able to conquer poverty.

We do not see faith, hope, and charity as unattainable ideals, but we use them as stout supports of a nation fighting the fight for freedom in a modern civilization.
