Charity is the perfection and ornament of religion.
Addison.
Where there is plenty, charity is a duty, not a courtesy.
Feltham.
We may cover a multitude of sins with the white robe of charity.
Beecher.
Are we not to pity and supply the poor, though they have no relation to us? No relation? That cannot be. The Gospel styles them all our brethren.
Thomas Sprat.
Those good men who take such pleasure in relieving the miserable for Christ’s sake, would not have been less forward to minister unto Christ Himself.
Atterbury.
Shall we repine at a little misplaced charity, we who could no way foresee the effect, when an all-knowing, all-wise Being showers down every day His benefits on the unthankful and undeserving?
Atterbury.
