The gratitude is greater than the gift.

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

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

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

If you would help another man, you must do so in minute particulars.

I know what I have given you. I do not know what you have received.
