Charity must become a fundamental state of mind and heart that guides us in all we do.

Charity is a supreme virtue, and the great channel through which the mercy of God is passed onto mankind.

Charity can be the outward expression of faith and hope.

Charity is willingly given from the heart.

Strangely, charity sometimes gets dismissed, as if it is ineffective, inappropriate or even somehow demeaning to the recipient. 'This isn't charity,' some donors take pains to claim, 'This is an investment.' Let us recognize charity for what it is at heart: a noble enterprise aimed at bettering the human condition.

Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it.

True charity is the desire to be useful to others with no thought of recompense.

My charity is in the business of helping firefighters in any way that we can. For instance, after 9/11 we were the second-fastest charity to raise and distribute money to the widows and surviving family members of the 343 firefighters who died that day.

If you're an enthusiast and you love the world like I do, it comes naturally. But I think charity must become more fun to give, more interactive and imaginative.
