“Little deeds that proceed from charity please God and have their place among meritorious acts.”
“Acts that proceed from your calm center are always more effective than acts that proceed from fear, guilt, or anger.”
“From the body of one guilty deed a thousand ghostly fears and haunting thoughts proceed.”
“Without the fear of God, men do not even observe justice and charity among themselves.”
“I choose not to believe in any gods as an act of charity,” Marcus said. “Charity toward whom?” “Toward the gods. Seems rude to think they couldn’t make a world better than this,”
“The charity that hastens to proclaim its good deeds, ceases to be charity, and is only pride and ostentation.”
