Alms/christianity

Famous quotes containing the words alms and/or christianity:

“If alms were only given out of pity, all the beggars would have starved to death.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“What’s the greatest enemy of Christianity to-day? Frozen meat. In the past only members of the upper classes were thoroughly sceptical, despairing, negative. Why? Among other reasons, because they were the only people who could afford to eat too much meat. Now there’s cheap Canterbury lamb and Argentine chilled beef. Even the poor can afford to poison themselves into complete scepticism and despair.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
