The Daily Quote

It is an old saying, that charity begins at home; but this is no reason it should not go abroad. A man should live with the world as a citizen of the world; he may have a preference for the particular quarter or square or even alley, in which he lives, but be should have a generous feeling for the welfare of the whole.
