CHARITY 善行

Charity gives itself rich; covetousness hoards itself poor.

善行施捨使人富足，貪婪收藏卻是貧窮。

The word 'alms' has no singular, as if to teach us that a solitary act of charity scarcely deserves the name.

「救濟」這個字沒有單數，這正教導我們偶而為之的一次善行根本不配冠以「救濟」二字。

Charity is the very livery of Christ.

Hugh Latimer

「善行」正是基督僕人最合身的制服。

The greatest charity in the world is the communication of divine truth to the ignorant.

Alexander Maclaren

人間最大善行乃向無知者傳揚神聖真道。

The brightest blaze of intelligence is of incalculably less value than the smallest spark of charity.

William Nevins

智慧燃放的燦爛焰火由遜善行點燃的微弱火花。

Charity is the best way to plenty; he gets most that gives most.

George Swinnock

「善行」是通往富足的最佳途徑，得的最多，給的最多。

True charity is the desire to be useful to others without thought of recompense.

真正的慈善，便是但願有益於人，而不念其回報。

A man that only translates shell never be a poet; nor a painter that only copies, nor a swimmer that swims always with bladders; so people that trust wholly to others charity, and without industry of their own, will always be poor.

只會翻譯成不了詩人，善臨摹南成為丹青大師，老帶著游泳圈便不成泳將，因此，完全寄託在別人的施捨上，而本身不勤勞以赴的人，會永遠是一個窮光蛋。

A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.

Jack London

給狗一根骨頭不是仁慈。人狗一樣餓而還能和狗分享這根骨頭，那才是仁慈。
