GEMS OF THOUGHT
CHARITY. The deeds of charity we have done shall stay with us forever. Only the wealth we have bestowed do we keep: tb.e other is not ours.—Middleton. The man who confers a kindness should be silent concerning it; he who receives it should proclaim it. —Seneca. Give work rather than alms to the poor. The former drives out indolence, the latter industry.—Tryon Edwards. “Charity suffereth long and is kind,” but wisdom must govern charity, else love’s labour is lost and giving is unkind. —Mary Baker Eddy. That charity is bad which takes from independence its proper pride, and from mendicity its proper shame. — Southey. The charities that soothe, and heal and bless, lie scattered at the feet of men like flowers. —Wordsworth.
