Quotations for philanthropy

Philanthropy, like charity, must begin at home. [ Lamb ]

Philanthropy is the refuge of people who wish to annoy their fellow-creatures. [ Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband ]

Humanity, in the aggregate, is progressing, and philanthropy looks forward hopefully. [ Hosea Ballou ]

I have never known a trader in philanthropy who was not wrong in his head or heart somewhere or other. [ Coleridge ]

That philanthropy has surely a flaw in it which cannot sympathise with the oppressor equally as with the oppressed. [ Lowell ]

Never respect men merely for their riches, but rather for their philanthropy; we do not value the sun for its height, but for its use. [ Bailey ]

The last, best fruit which comes to late perfection, even in the kindliest soul, is tenderness toward the hard, forbearance toward the unforbearing, warmth of heart toward the cold, and philanthropy toward the misanthropic. [ Jean Paul ]

There are persons of that general philanthropy and easy tempers, which the world in contempt generally calls good-natured, who seem to be sent into the world with the same design with which men put little fish into a pike pond, in order only to be devoured by that voracious water-hero. [ Fielding ]
