Philanthropy
- To give money is an easy matter in any man's power. But to decide to whom it give it, and how large and when, and for what purposes and how, is neither in every man's power nor an easy matter. Hence, it is that such excellence is rare, praiseworthy, and noble.
- Aristotle (384 - 322 BC)
- There are those who give with joy and joy is their reward .
- Khalil Gibran (1883 - 1931)
