That's why charity work is very selfish at the same time, because it makes you feel good.
Maria Menounos, American Actress (1978-  )
The designer of my Emmy gown is donating my gown to the charity for an auction.
Maria Menounos, American Actress (1978-  )
As for charity, it is a matter in which the immediate effect on the persons directly concerned, and the ultimate consequence to the general good, are apt to be at complete war with one another.
John Stuart Mill, English Philosopher (1806-1873)

When faith and hope fail, as they do sometimes, we must try charity, which is love in action. We must speculate no more on our duty, but simply do it. When we have done it, however blindly, perhaps Heaven will show us why.
Dinah Maria Mulock, English Novelist (1826-1887)
A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity.
Ralph Nader, American Lawyer (1934-  )
Great indebtedness does not make men grateful, but vengeful; and if a little charity is not forgotten, it turns into a gnawing worm.
Friedrich Nietzsche, German Philosopher (1844-1900)
I really enjoy doing charity, for a good cause, it's like the least I can do, I really enjoy that stuff. I enjoy giving back.
Alex O'Loughlin, Australian Actor
I have a friend who lives in the South Side of Chicago. I helped out at a church charity there where they try to give a bit of cohesion to a desperate area. Everyone was very welcoming.
Sara Paretsky, American Author (1947-  )
Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.
Evita Peron, Argentinian Statesman (1919-1952)
A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this - that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made - not to understand - but to feel - as crime.
Edgar Allan Poe, American Poet (1809-1849)
Flatter not thyself in thy faith in God if thou hast not charity for thy neighbor.
Francis Quarles, English Poet (1592-1644)
Often what we do is open our house for various charity events. I don't seat according to protocol. I don't invite people because of who they are in the administration or their positions of power. The few who do come, are there because I like them.
Sally Quinn, American Journalist (1941-  )
There is no truer cause of unhappiness amongst men than, where naturally expecting charity and benevolence, they receive harm and vexation.
Francois Rabelais, French Clergyman
Today, our actions must be motivated only by our intense desire to achieve a just and lasting peace. The compassion and charity of the American people should be reflected in this legislation, though sadly, they are silenced.
Nick Rahall, American Politician (1949-  )
And so, at the age of thirty, I had successively disgraced myself with three fine institutions, each of which had made me free of its full and rich resources, had trained me with skill and patience, and had shown me nothing but forbearance and charity when I failed in trust.
Simon Raven, English Novelist (1927-2001)
Most agree, whatever their party political position, that the West can and should open its agricultural markets more fully to the products of the poorer countries of the globe. They are agricultural societies that need our markets more than our charity.
John Redwood, British Politician (1951-  )
There is a real diversity of talent and background on the A list so as to better reflect our society in all walks. There are people who have been candidates before, Councillors, Doctors, business leaders, charity campaigners.
Adam Rickitt, British Actor (1978-  )
