Alms Quotations
Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. Kahlil Gibran Character is always known. Thefts never enrich; alms never impoverish; murder will speak out of stone walls. Ralph Waldo Emerson To give alms is nothing unless you give thought also. John Ruskin I know that a man who shows me his wealth is like the beggar who shows me his poverty; they are both looking for alms from me, the rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor man for the alms of my guilt. Ben Hecht There is no one on earth more disgusting and repulsive than he who gives alms. Even as there is no one so miserable as he who accepts them. Maxim Gorky |
