Saint Basil Quotes About Charity

Quotes about: Charity

• If every man took only what was sufficient for his needs, leaving the rest to those in want, there would be no rich and no poor.

  Saint Basil

  Wisdom, Men, Leaving

• I have learned from Jesus Christ Himself what charity is, and how we ought to practise it; for He says: "By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye love one another." Never can I, therefore, please myself in the hope that I may obtain the name of a servant of Christ if I possess not a true and unfeigned charity within me.

  Saint Basil

  Jesus, Men, Names

• The bread which you use is the bread of the hungry; the garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of him who is naked; the shoes you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot; the acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit.
