Hope and Charity

Famous quotes containing the words hope and/or charity:

“The thought of our past years in me doth breed
Perpetual benediction: not indeed
For that which is most worthy to be blest—
Delight and liberty, the simple creed
Of Childhood, whether busy or at rest,
With new-fledged hope still fluttering in his breast:—”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

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