Charity is a very personal equation, like we say charity begins at home. It starts with your immediate help in the house: the people who work for you.

Malaika Arora Khan

Charity But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves? Charity begins at home, is the voice of the world; yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner.

Thomas Browne

The charity that begins at home cannot rest there but draws one inexorably over the threshold and off the porch and down the street and so out and out and out and out into the world which becomes the home wherein charity begins until it becomes possible, in theory at least, to love the whole of creation with the same patience, affection, and amusement one first practiced, in between the pouts and tantrums, with parents, siblings, spouse, and children.

Nancy Mairs

Freedom, like charity, begins at home.

Anne Roe

Peace, like charity, begins at home.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Our charity begins at home, And mostly ends where it begins.

Horace Smith

Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.

Charles Dickens

I want to be as healthy as I possibly can be. I just want to make sure that I do everything to take care of myself. Like they say, charity begins at home. Love begins at home, too. So I want to do the best for me. I want to pamper myself and do the best for my body.

Kriti Kharbanda

I do as much charity work as I can and that my family life will allow. I do believe charity begins at home and the more we focus on our families, the better they will be.

Jamie Lee Curtis

Not only does charity begin at home. Everything begins at home, including spirituality.

Swami Satchidananda

Charity begins at home.

Terence

I have much more confidence in the charity which begins in the home and diverges into a large humanity, than in the world-wide philanthropy which begins at the outside of our horizon to converge into egotism.
