Quotations for benevolent

Benevolent people are always cheerful. [ Father Taylor ]

The benevolent man even weighs the grounds of his liberality. [ Proverb ]

It is in contemplating man at a distance that we become benevolent. [ Buiwer-Lytton ]

How quickly a truly benevolent act is repaid by the consciousness of having done it! [ Hosea Ballou ]

Men with gray eyes are generally keen, energetic, and at first cold; but you may depend upon their sympathy with real sorrow. Search the ranks of our benevolent men and you will agree with me. [ Dr. Leask ]

The day of life spent in honest and benevolent labor comes in hope to an evening calm and lovely; and though the sun declines, the shadows that he leaves behind are only to curtain the spirit unto rest. [ Henry Giles ]

Good-nature is that benevolent and amiable temper of mind which disposes us to feel the misfortunes and enjoy the happiness of others, and, consequently, pushes us on to promote the latter and prevent the former; and that without any abstract contemplation on the beauty of virtue, and without the allurements or terrors of religion. [ Fielding ]
