Jack London
“The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.”
Benjamin Franklin
“In charity there is no excess.”
Francis Bacon Sr.

William Arthur Ward
“Charity creates a multitude of sins.”
Oscar Wilde
“While to the claims of charity a man may yield and yet be free, to the claims of conformity no man may yield and remain free at all”
