Charity Quotes

|
”Charity” is a term in Christian theology, meaning being loving, kind towards others; it is held to be the ultimate perfection of the human spirit, because it is said to both glorify and reflect the nature of God. In its most extreme form charity can be self-sacrificial. Charity encompasses religion, education, assistance to the government, promotion of health, relief of poverty or distress and other purposes that benefit the community.
Charity quotes are the ones that reveal the positive works of the society, done for the society. These charity quotes may be penned by some of the eminent socialists of the society, for raising some funds for the welfare of certain backward classes of the society. These represent the views of certain people about the society in which they live and how it can be improved for betterment of all beings. |
