Famous quotes containing the words charity and/or work:
“How much methinks, I could despise this man,
But that I am bound in charity against it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Erasmus was the light of his century; others were its strength: he lighted the way; others knew how to walk on it while he himself remained in the shadow as the source of light always does. But he who points the way into a new era is no less worthy of veneration than he who is the first to enter it; those who work invisibly have also accomplished a feat.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
