Francis of Assisi Quotes

Charity is an eternal debt and without limit.

With wealth, one is in a position of responsibility. You must try to help others. It is as simple as that.

As you have more resources in life, it's your obligation to deploy those for the benefit of others.

I have always been generous because I know that I have done well in life and I believe it is part of my duty to give back. So I am always been philanthropic.

I've always been generous and like giving to charities and people in need.

Philanthropy is lost. The human spirit is suppressed. Most people want a legacy; they want to give something back, a library, a hospital wing, a donation to their church. This is a form of socialism that must go.

Looking back, if I had to live my life over, there are things I would do differently, but the one thing I would not change is my charitable giving. I'm particularly thankful for my father's advice to set goals so high that they can't possibly be achieved during a lifetime and to give help where help is needed most. That inspiration keeps me energized and eager to keep working hard every day on giving back and making the world a better place for generations to come.

Giving is what fuels us. Giving is our future.

Defer not charities till death; for certainly, if a man weigh it rightly, he that doth so is rather liberal of another man's than of his own.

The best investment with the least risk and the greatest dividend is giving.

People who give will never be poor.

Philanthropy is one of the most hopeful characteristics of our time.

We learned early on that if we help enough people, the money will come.

I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.

Where there is plenty, charity is a duty, not a courtesy

It's best to start the discipline of generosity when the amounts are small. It's easy to give ten cents out of a dollar; it's a little harder to give a hundred thousand out of a million.

Giving is living. If you stop wanting to give, there's nothing more to live for.

Philanthropy is fun and fulfilling.
