If Heaven had looked upon riches to be a valuable thing, it would not have given them to such a scoundrel.
Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven.
Charity must become a fundamental state of mind and heart that guides us in all we do.
Heaven lent you a soul, Earth will lend a grave.
God owns heaven but He craves the earth.

Posthumous charities are the very essence of selfishness when bequeathed by those who, even alive, would part with nothing.
It is justice, not charity, that is wanting in the world.
Human nature is what Heaven supplies.
