charities quotes

The cold charities of man to man.

- George Crabbe
  The Village, bk.1, l.245.

No little lily-handed baronet he, A great broad-shouldered genial Englishman, A lord of fat prize-oxen and of sheep, A raiser of huge melons and of pine, A patron of some thirty charities, A pamphleteer on guano and on grain.

-Tennyson
