Famous quotes containing the words hope and, hope and/or charity:

Most of us become parents in our lifetime and it is not acceptable for young people to be steeped in ignorance or questionable folklore when they begin their critical journey as mothers and fathers.

    Having levelled my palace, don’t erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.
