IT Hurt/philanthropy

Famous quotes containing the words hurt and/or philanthropy:

    ... pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our own hurts—not to hurt others.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Almost every man we meet requires some civility,—requires to be humored; he has some fame, some talent, some whim of religion or philanthropy in his head that is not to be questioned, and which spoils all conversation with him. But a friend is a sane man who exercises not my ingenuity, but me.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
