Joseph Hall Quotes About Giving

Quotes about: Giving

• Rich people should consider that they are only trustees for what they possess, and should show their wealth to be more in doing good than merely in having it. They should not reserve their benevolence for purposes after they are dead, for those who give not of their property till they die show that they would not then if they could keep it any longer.

It is a good Master whom we serve, who not only pays, but gives; not after the proportion of our earnings, but of His own mercy.

• It is of no small commendation to manage a little well. To live well in abundance is the praise of the estate, not of the person. I will study more how to give a good account of my little, than how to make it more.
