"Charity is the lovely marriage of gratitude and generosity; it is an attitude more than an act, an opening of the heart more than an opening of the wallet."

"The charitable man has found the path of liberation. He is like the man who plants a sapling securing thereby the shade, the flowers and the fruits in future years. Even so is the result of charity, even so is the joy of him who helps those that are in need of assistance: even so is the great nirvana  "

"Charity sees the need, not the cause"

"Be thankful that you are allowed to exercise your power of benevolence and mercy in the world and thus, become pure and perfect. Be grateful to the man you help, think of him as God. Is it not a great privilege to be allowed to worship God by helping our fellow men?  "
