Charity

"We may not substitute charity for godliness; but there is room for the Divine love in the heart which has been touched by the human."

"An effort made for the happiness of others lifts us above ourselves."

"Earth has not a spectacle more glorious or more fair to show than this — love tolerating intolerance; charity covering, as with a vail, even the sin of the lack of charity."

"There is no dearth of charity in the world in giving, but there is comparatively little exercised in thinking and speaking."

"I have more confidence in the charity which begins in the home and diverges into a large humanity, than in the worldwide philanthropy which begins at the outside of our horizon to converge into egotism."

"Nothing will make us so charitable and tender to the faults of others as by self-examination thoroughly to know our own."
