Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it.
John D. Rockefeller, American Businessman (1839-1937)
Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery, French Novelist (1900-1944)
Charity degrades those who receive it and hardens those who dispense it.
George Sand, French Novelist (1804-1876)
We have tried you citizens; we are trying you now, and you have a couple of dollars for the sorrowing mothers, brothers and sisters by way of a charity gift.

I tend to do golf charity things because it's much safer and you don't get much chance of a broken arm or leg.
Dougray Scott, Scottish Actor (1965-  )
Everywhere you look, there is a charity or a project in school to get involved in. In eighth grade, there was this program called CJSF, California Junior Scholarship Foundation. We were involved in soup kitchens and toy drives, and your school can set up something like that. If your school doesn't have a program like that, set one up.
Lindsey Shaw, American Actress (1989-  )
It is justice, not charity, that is wanting in the world.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, English Author (1797-1851)
The only genuine elite is the elite of those men and women who gave their lives to justice and charity.
Sargent Shriver, American Politician (1915-  )
Our charity begins at home, And mostly ends where it begins.
Horace Smith, English Poet (1779-1849)
People who identify themselves as conservatives donate money to charity more often than people who identify themselves as liberals. They donate more money and a higher percentage of their incomes.
Thomas Sowell, American Economist (1930-  )
It's very difficult to ignore humanitarian disasters. The royalties from my albums continue to support my charity work.
Cat Stevens, British Musician (1948-  )
True charity is the desire to be useful to others with no thought of recompense.
Emanuel Swedenborg, Swedish Scientist (1688-1772)
I've a problem with the word charity because I think that NGOs, as I prefer calling them, really do take the work of moral and social responsibilities that ought to be taken on by governments.
Emma Thompson, English Actress (1959-  )
All things are perceived in the light of charity, and hence under the aspect of beauty; for beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love.
Evelyn Underhill, English Writer (1875-1941)
The Constitution guarantees us our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That's all. It doesn't guarantee our rights to charity.
Jesse Ventura, American Politician (1952-  )
If we put our trust in the common sense of common men and 'with malice toward none and charity for all' go forward on the great adventure of making political, economic and social democracy a practical reality, we shall not fail.
Henry A. Wallace, American Vice President (1888-1965)
Charity. To love human beings in so far as they are nothing. That is to love them as God does.
Simone Weil, French Philosopher (1909-1943)
Behold I do not give lectures or a little charity, When I give I give myself.
Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
There's lots of charity stuff that I can do. There are actually a million things to do here, but it would be very hard for me to stop going overseas, because I've been doing that for longer than I've been playing in the WNBA.
Sue Wicks, American Athlete (1966-  )
Charity creates a multitude of sins.
Oscar Wilde, Irish Dramatist (1854-1900)
