Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all.

Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.

The friend of all humanity is no friend to me.

Too many people have decided to do without generosity in order to practice charity.

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.

Unfortunately, humanitarianism has been the mark of an inhuman time.
