Because men believe not in Providence, therefore they do so greedily scrape and hoard. They do not believe in any reward for charity, therefore they will part with nothing.

I quite like the element of charity shops not being sorted out.

In the grave should be buried the prejudices and passions born of conflict. Charity should hold the scales in which are weighed the deeds of men.
A rich man without charity is a rogue; and perhaps it would be no difficult matter to prove that he is also a fool.
Who can begrudge the generosity of the wealthy, you might say. Wherever you stand on the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a tiny global elite, surely such charity should be applauded? But philanthropy is a dangerous substitution for progressive taxation.
In 1996, Trump had crashed a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a charity opening a nursery school for children with AIDS. Trump, who had never donated to the charity, stole a seat onstage that had been saved for a big contributor.
I have a charity called the Chain Of Hope, where we target children from poor areas where heart surgery is not available, and we offer our services.
My own service started when I was 12, with the small charity I launched with 12 friends. Twenty years later, millions have joined our ranks – educators, business leaders and prominent Canadians.

To go back to visit the early days with Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon, when she was the dance captain of ‘How to Succeed,’ and finding them again 25 years later and working with them on ‘Charity.’ That was really great fun.

I’m from Africa, and I have to give something back to my community. You all know that I’ve been doing a lot of charity stuff without knocking at any door. I’m taking my own wages to do it, and I will keep doing it until the end of my career.
There’s a big difference between charity and between activism and philanthropy. They’re very different things and I think, you know, everybody should find a passion or a cause that they can really get behind, but it has to be organic.
I, particularly, have a penchant for any charity that supports women and helps young girls thrive.
We make friends with people we admire, including those you might consider competitors, like charity: water, Kiva, and Global Giving. We get on a call with them and exchange ideas.
Wallace and Gromit’s Children’s Charity does a fantastic job, raising funds to improve the lives of sick children in hospitals and hospices throughout the U.K.
I asked long ago,’What must I do to be saved?’ The Scripture answered, ‘Keep the commandments, believe, hope, love.’ I was early warned against laying, as the Papists do, too much stress on outward works, or on a faith without works, which as it does not include, so it will never lead to true hope or charity.
If I spend silly, it’s going to look bad, in a way, because I do all this charity work as well.
Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.
When I was very young, my brother and I, we used to go into charity shops to buy suits. The thing about clothes is that people judge you by what you wear, unfortunately. So when we wore suits, people gave us respect – we were very young, and it made them think we were older.
I wouldn’t call myself a feminist. I am just me. I like boxing and acting and doing my charity work.
You can’t take care of charity unless you take care of yourself first.
When I was 16, I’d been cast in ‘Fast Food Nation.’ And while I was playing in a charity baseball game, I ended up breaking my arm about a week before filming was starting.
A man who always speaks the truth wholeheartedly is greater than those who do penance and deeds of charity.
To me, charity often is just about giving, because you’re supposed to, or because it’s what you’ve always done – or it’s about giving until it hurts.
I decided to leave most of my wealth to my charitable foundation, which is not to be confused with my charity. My charity helps children directly. The charitable foundation will receive most of my legacy when I die.
If you’re an enthusiast and you love the world like I do, it comes naturally. But I think charity must become more fun to give, more interactive and imaginative.
There is precious little that’s charitable about the world of charity.
Jessica Simpson is the youth ambassador for Operation Smile, and an episode of The Apprentice featured a team managing a charity concert she put on. Donald Trump came on stage and pledged a donation.
Behold I do not give lectures or a little charity, When I give I give myself.
The most helpful piece of advice that I could give to anybody is to select a charity, or create a charity, that you really feel passionate about and if you do, don’t give up.
Don’t nobody wanna talk about or hear about somebody donating money to a charity. You wanna hear about what Bin Laden is doing and what you think is on his mind.
I don’t spend any time thinking about my place in history, ever. If people say I changed things, it’s nice, and I take it – but if I could give it to a charity it would be useful. I really believe now that my only job in life is to achieve a state of comfort and happiness.
As the nation is aware, I have been doing charity movements through the Beautiful Foundation and Beautiful Stores, and carrying out projects to promote hope and governance of our society.
I’m always looking to the next thing. There are always hurdles, whether it’s the White House dinner or hosting charity events or that night’s show: Until they’re over, I worry, then I move right on to the next thing. It’s hard for me to enjoy the moment. I’m just thinking about not failing.
I do charity work for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and the USO. I made all the money I’m ever going to need – all my family is every going to need – so I try to give back to the community.
I was a fan of Meghan’s before she met our gorgeous Prince Harry. I loved her in Suits,’ I admired her work ethic and her charity work, and I think she is such a breath of fresh air.
There is a world and life beyond films. My charity work keeps me in touch with that world.
Apart from the emergency aid we provide to alleviate the sufferings of victims of natural disasters, calamities and crises, we worked for transforming U.A.E.’s charity activities into an institutional activity with an aim of making them more effective and sustainable.
My girlfriend’s dad runs the Prostate Centre on Wimpole St. in London, and he’s chairman of Prostate U.K., which I think is the second-largest prostate cancer charity in Britain.
A lot of other wealthy people feel the responsibility to take some of the wealth they’ve been given and give back: to give a lot of money to a particular cancer charity or to a group researching some particular disease or their alma mater. We haven’t really found anything like that with Trump.
I hope one day I will host my own charity event to give back to society.
The character of a people may be ruined by charity.
Everybody in life is pursuing money: left, right, charity, nonprofits, everybody’s pursuing money. Everybody wants a raise. Everybody wants to improve their standard of living. Everybody wants to be rich, and especially those that go to Washington.
I love to perform at benefits and charity fundraisers.
There is a real diversity of talent and background on the A list so as to better reflect our society in all walks. There are people who have been candidates before, Councillors, Doctors, business leaders, charity campaigners.
Countries should think of Haiti not as a place where to do charity but a place where to invest and do business. And doing business in Haiti means poverty reduction.
I give lectures for money, but all the money goes to charity. So, I make no money from it.
Triathlon is a sport where the legacy is obvious. Anyone can do it; there are loads you can do. It is a massive participation sport. You can do it as a challenge, for charity or whatever. I believe it will continue to grow, and I will look forward to that happening.
My mother died when I was very young. I didn’t want to be in the position I was in, but I eventually pulled my head out of the sand, started listening to people, and decided to use my role for good. I am now fired up and energized and love charity stuff, meeting people, and making them laugh.
I wanted to give things away or sell them somewhere, but I realized that some of the pieces are so special – limited editions, designer gifts – and needed to be appreciated. When I started my own charity foundation and was looking to raise money, I was like, ‘Boom. That’s it!’
Where we’re living we have a certain amount of our profit every year it’s like a percentage 5 or 7% or something like that that we set aside specifically for charity things.
I think every athlete should give back to schools. I know athletes donate and have things that they give charity to, but, at the end of the day, it’s the younger generation that we need to be helping.
I never intended on starting a charity; I never intended on cancer, health, and wellness becoming my life.
I only ever met Ronaldinho once, at a charity event in Rio. Once every year, he stages a game and invites different players and personalities to play and raise money for his charity.
People love me or hate me and all I think about is the people that I know and suffer with different causes and carry on my charity work and that’s what keeps me alive really.
Even for charity I always give priority to education because I always teach young people – knowledge is your real companion, your life long companion, not fortune. Fortune can disappear.

I used to get taxed on my allowance. Yeah, I’ve been taxed since I was a little kid. And at the end of the year I had to pick a charity to donate my taxes to.
Acting is a smaller piece in a big puzzle. There are charity things I want to immerse myself in and want to have the time to go and give back to people who don’t have the opportunities I have. It’s a very important thing to me.
I open events for museums and I do charity work and photography.
I have seen that traditional approaches to charity and aid don’t solve problems of poverty. In fact, too often they create dependence.
In religion as in politics it so happens that we have less charity for those who believe half our creed, than for those who deny the whole of it.
I don’t do films for charity any more. In the past, I’ve done that for friends or people who couldn’t not afford to pay. But now money matters.
I think, in this country, we have a problem where we view the arts as charity, and therefore, it has no value. Things in America that have value are profitable, and unless you are profitable, we don’t know where to put you.
It’ll seem convenient ’cause I am ambassador for the charity, but Look Good Feel Better launched a set of makeup brushes through Priceline, and I use the multi-tasking brush to apply my liquid foundation. It’s wonderful. As good as the Bobbi Brown Full Coverage Face brush, which I also use.
If you don’t improve the lives of the poor, it’s not charity.
My mother grew up strong. She was a charismatic leader among her peers, staging plays, organizing projects, raising money for charity; she was fiercely protective of her younger brother, with whom she shared a passion for jazz and rock and roll.
I think part of the problem with charity is that it tends to make us view people as helpless victims. I think in the future, we’ll look back on charity in the same way that we look back on colonialism today: as a very paternalistic system that doesn’t fully recognise the full spectrum of humanity.
Strangely, charity sometimes gets dismissed, as if it is ineffective, inappropriate or even somehow demeaning to the recipient. ‘This isn’t charity,’ some donors take pains to claim, ‘This is an investment.’ Let us recognize charity for what it is at heart: a noble enterprise aimed at bettering the human condition.
The Lord receive my soul, and have mercy on me, and bless this kingdom with peace and charity, that there may not be this effusion of Christian blood amongst them.

I have been able to travel all over the country and see many places that I probably never would have visited. I have also participated in many charity events for worthy causes.
The Clintons want to do big worthy things, but they also want to squeeze money from rich people wherever they live on planet Earth, insatiably gobbling up cash for politics and charity and themselves from the same incestuous swirl.
Anything I can do to raise awareness and money for charity, I like to do.
I have worked on Wall Street and on Bay Street. I started a charity and I’ve been doing it while raising four children. And I think that’s the kind of experience people want to see from their political leaders. It’s real life experience.
Working in fashion we’re lucky enough to be gifted lots of items, meanwhile so many people all over the world have one t-shirt they live in, so I thought why not share? I reached out to all of my friends and asked them to donate pieces from their wardrobe that I could sell to raise money for my charity foundation.
My education was paid for by the RAF Benevolent Fund, so a charity school, run like an orphanage, with uniforms and beatings. It was tough, but it got me to Cambridge – like being a chrysalis suddenly becoming a butterfly.
During summer or charity games I’ll wear my bright orange or green or turquoise ones and guys are always like, ‘Why are your shoes so bright?’
I don’t think we should judge celebrities for doing charity work. Period. Whatever their reasons for doing it, they are shedding light on issues that would otherwise go unnoticed.
I love to hang out with my friends and go to the movies. My mom and I are involved in the Mother/Daughter Organization – national charity work. Whenever I get free time, we volunteer. It’s an organization so mothers and daughters can spend time together while volunteering.
We have to restore power to the family, to the neighborhood, and the community with a non-market principle, a principle of equality, of charity, of let’s-take-care-of-one-another. That’s the creative challenge.
My kids aren’t celebrities. They never made that bargain. We were offered a lot of money to sell pictures of our kids when they were born. You’ll notice there aren’t any. I make no judgment about people who decide differently; a lot of them give the money to charity. For me, it was a matter of principle.
As someone who cares about human rights, I am deeply dismayed to learn that Mr. McCain’s charity has accepted money from Saudi Arabia. Their track record of oppressing women, gays, Christians, and political opponents is notoriously horrific.
So often, we leave the selfless side of ourselves for nights and weekends, for our charity work. It is our duty to inject that into our day-to-day business, into the work that we do, to improve corporations, to improve civil society, and to improve government.
I started this charity, Fashion for Relief, in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina happened. New Orleans was actually the first place I visited in the United States. It was one of my first big jobs, a shoot for British ‘Elle.’ It was April 14, 1986.
I am very driven. I work really hard, whether it’s acting or my charity or even poker. When I focus on something I give it my all.

You could go out and give a million dollars to a charity tomorrow to help the homeless. You could argue that it is just wasted. They are not putting anything back into the community.
Suggest your children try tithing – giving 10 percent of their allowance to a charity every month.
Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.
But charity is a very complicated thing. It’s important to find an area where you can really help and you can feel the results. Charity is not like feeding pigeons in the square. It is a process that requires professional management.
The system of volunteerism is divisive. It pits one charity against the others for the charity dollar.
Charity never lacks what is her own, all that she needs for her own security. Not alone does she have it, she abounds with it. She wants this abundance for herself that she may share it with all; and she reserves enough for herself so that she disappoints nobody. For charity is perfect only when full.
Meeting people who want to start a charity, help out their families, or raise money for a good cause has been really fun.
I think we raised about 20,000 pounds. There was a live performance thing so we thought we’d donate the equipment for an online charity in Britain. I hated to part with my guitar, but it was for such a great cause.
I want to show people who I am, introduce them to my family, where I’ve come from, how I’m helping people with my charity work. I know it sounds boring, but with that comes with a lot and a lot of bumps in the road.
I teach kids to read on a Saturday for this charity called Real Action. It’s a voluntary school because lots of the kids around my area of London are from immigrant families and need extra help with reading.

My favorite charity is the Women’s Refugee Commission and the Nomi network.
Music and philanthropy have a long, benevolent relationship with one another. Record bins are rife with charity singles, and concert history is filled with benefit shows for every imaginable cause. Musicians like to give back.
Traditional charity is still fairly focused on how it makes donors feel as opposed to outcomes for people that need help.
The products I review are typically lent to me by their manufacturers for a few weeks or months. I return any products I am lent for review, except for items of minor value that companies typically don’t want back. In the case of these items, I either discard them or give them away to charity.
Overall, Twitter has been a great tool for myself and my family as far as promoting our charity and the events we do and really just kind of interacting with our fans. But it can be in the negative form, and guys have to be careful.
If we put our trust in the common sense of common men and ‘with malice toward none and charity for all’ go forward on the great adventure of making political, economic and social democracy a practical reality, we shall not fail.
Once money goes into a charity, it is tax exempt, so that’s a benefit you get. And in return, you have to use the assets of the charity to serve the public good. So if Trump is using this money basically to save his businesses, the money isn’t helping people. That’s a violation of the letter and the spirit of law.
Charity in the theater begins and ends with those who have a play opening within a week of one’s own.
In 2007, Donald Trump spent $20,000 that belonged to his charity – the Donald J. Trump Foundation – to buy a six-foot-tall portrait of himself during a fundraiser auction at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida.

Save the Children is an awesome charity that has helped more than 125 million children around the world, providing everything from school books to food to blankets and shelter.
Charity should always be a constant.
I think the charity side of things for me is very important, because if you’re not giving something back, there’s an imbalance somewhere in your life.
My father was always not concerned about the wealth I have, but every year he would ask me, how much have you given in charity? And how much taxes have you paid?
It was a huge shock when my mum was diagnosed. She was 49 when she found a lump in one of her breasts and sensed something was wrong. At the time, we did a breast cancer campaign together. I still do a lot of charity runs.
It’s time to stop obsessing about overhead and start focusing on progress. Change charity, and charity can change the world.
Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it.
There will always be some who, for whatever reason, find themselves dependent on the charity of others. But when half the population is along for the ride, the system becomes dangerously out of balance. Things fall apart.
Sometimes people give to charity because they have been persuaded to believe in a cause, sometimes just to get rid of you and sometimes because they are befuddled and confused.
Besides music and charity, fashion is one of my interests that has been growing over the past few years. I think it goes so hand in hand, music and fashion.
