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)

    Wherever there are walls I shall inscribe this eternal accusation against Christianity upon them—I can write in letters which make even the blind see ... I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which no expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean, petty—I call it the one immortal blemish of mankind....
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
