Famous quotes containing the words charitable and/or trust:

    Family ... the home of all social evil, a charitable institution for comfortable women, an anchorage for house-fathers, and a hell for children.
    J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

    Now rest in peace, our patriot band;
    Though far from nature’s limits thrown,
    We trust they find a happier land,
    A brighter sunshine of their own.
    Philip Freneau (1752–1832)
