Every man must decide whether he will walk in the creative light of altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgment. Life's persistent and most urgent question is 'What are you doing for others?'
Martin Luther
Image
It is thus only this personal feeling of misery that we get rid of by acts of pity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Philanthropy isn't just about big gifts it's about participation. It is about the grace that comes from working together.
Marc Benioff

Shut not thy purse-strings always against painted distress.
Charles Lamb

I was fortunate to get a scholarship when I went to Lehigh University and Princeton. They were both wonderful schools. Somebody was kind enough to spend their money to educate people that they would never get to know. That's what I think philanthropy is about.
Lee Iacocca

I always had the old-school model that I'm going to work for as long as I'm relevant and focus on for-profit activities and someday when I retire I'm going to learn about philanthropy.
Marc Andreessen

Charity is a supreme virtue, and the great channel through which the mercy of God is passed on to mankind. It is the virtue that unites men and inspires their noblest efforts.

He scorn'd his own, who felt another's woe.
Thomas Campbell

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.
Lindsey Graham

I respect generosity in people, and I respect it in companies too, I don't look at it as philanthropy I see it as an investment in the community.
Paul Newman
Image
In my opinion it is harmful to place important things in the hands of philanthropy, which in Russia is marked by a chance character. Nor should important matters depend on leftovers, which are never there. I would prefer that the government treasury take care of it.
Anton Chekhov
Image
You have to build a culture of philanthropy. In a country like India, we need to be sensitive and caring about the poorer, more disadvantaged section of our country.
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw

The world order needs a major overhaul.
George Soros

The law is the collective organization of the individual's right to lawful defense of his life, liberty and property. When it is used for anything else, no matter how noble the cause, it becomes perverted and justice is weakened. Thus, the law has become perverted by stupid greed and false philanthropy.
Frederic Bastiat
Image
All philanthropy ... is only a savory fumigation burning at the mouth of a sewer. This incense offering makes the air more endurable to passers-by, but it does not hinder the infection in the sewer from spreading.
Ellen Key
Image
Generosity gives assistance, rather than advice.
Luc de Clapiers
Image
Philanthropy has always been something that I've been kind of interested in because I think it was instilled at a very young age through my parents.
Serinda Swan
Image
True generosity must benefit both parties. No woman can control her destiny if she doesn't give to herself as much as she gives of herself.
Suze Orman
Image
Imagination is to love what gas is to the balloon-that which raises it from earth.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Image
Our age is pre-eminently the age of sympathy, as the eighteenth century was the age of reason. Our ideal men and women are they, whose sympathies have had the widest culture, whose aims do not end with self, whose philanthropy, though centrifugal, reaches around the globe.
Frances E. Willard

I am lord of myself, accountable to none.
Benjamin Franklin
