Famous quotes containing the words alms and/or house:
“If alms were only given out of pity, all the beggars would have starved to death.”

“They had never had one in the house before.
The strangeness of it all. Like unleashing
A lion, really. Poised
To pounce. A puma. A panther. A black
Bear.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
