Famous quotes containing the words charity and/or work:

    Opening the door of charity can create problems.
    Chinese proverb.

    By this contrivance the machinery of my work is of a species by itself; two contrary motions are introduced into it, and reconciled, which were thought to be at variance with each other. In a word, my work is digressive, and it is progressive too,—and at the same time.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
