Leigh Hunt on charity

Jenny kiss’d me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief, who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in:
Say I’m weary, say I’m sad,
Say that health and wealth have miss’d me,
Say I’m growing old, but add,
Jenny kiss’d me.

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving? Show me your feet. Are they wounded in service? Show me your heart. Have you left a place for divine love?
