Charity

Famous quotes containing the word charity:

    How much methinks, I could despise this man,
    But that I am bound in charity against it.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
    —Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in 1 Corinthians, 8:1-2.

    Our inherent human charity and our religious beliefs will be taxed to the limit. No poor, rural, weak, or black person should ever have to bear the additional burden of being deprived of the opportunity of an education, a job, or simple justice.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
