We often equate charity with visiting the sick, taking in casseroles to those in need, or sharing our excess with those who are less fortunate. But really, true charity is much, much more. Real charity is not something you give away; it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself. And when the virtue of charity becomes implanted in your heart, you are never the same again.

Marvin J. Ashton

The leader is a teacher who succeeds without taking credit. And, because credit is not taken, credit is received.

Laozi

When we want to help the poor, we usually offer them charity. Most often we use charity to avoid recognizing the problem and finding the solution for it. Charity becomes a way to shrug off our responsibility. But charity is no solution to poverty. Charity only perpetuates poverty by taking the initiative away from the poor. Charity allows us to go ahead with our own lives without worrying about the lives of the poor. Charity appeases our consciences.

Muhammad Yunus

In Japan, it's strange to openly take credit for giving to charity or even to donate publicly.

Robert Paul Weston

Men can comfortably claim credit for what they do as long as they don't veer into arrogance. For women, taking credit comes at a real social and professional cost.

Heber J. Grant

Creating without claiming, Doing without taking credit, Guiding without interfering, This is Primal Virtue.

Laozi

George Bush taking credit for the wall coming down is like the rooster taking credit for the sun rising.

Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen

The sage acts without taking credit. He accomplishes without dwelling on it. He does not want to display his worth.

Laozi

Giving birth and nourishing, Bearing yet not possessing, Working yet not taking credit, Leading yet not dominating, This is the Primal Virtue.

Laozi

Charity is a naked child, giving honey to a bee without wings.

Francis Quarles

Nothing you do makes much of a difference if you do not have charity. You can speak with tongues, have the gift of prophecy, understand all mysteries, and possess all knowledge; even if you have the faith to move mountains, without charity it won't profit you at all.... Without charity-or the pure love of Christ-whatever else we accomplish matters little. With it, all else becomes vibrant and alive.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

I have to admit that Christina is good—though I don’t like giving credit to Candor smart-mouths—and so is Peter—though I don’t like giving credit to future psychopaths.
