Famous quotes containing the word charities:

    “The wonderful purity of nature at this season is a most pleasing fact.... In the bare fields and tinkling woods, see what virtue survives. In the coldest and bleakest places, the warmest charities still maintain a foothold.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
