Build what you want to see in the world.
The time has come to make the difficult decision. Charity begins at home. We can no longer afford to rebuild Afghanistan and America. We must choose. And I choose America.

Charity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a good soil that yields an abundance of fruits.

While the wordВ charityВ connotes a single act of giving,В justiceВ speaks to right living, of aligning oneself with the world in a way that sustains rather than exploits the rest of creation.

Every act of charity, every thought of sympathy, every action of help, every good deed, is taking so much of self-importance away from our little selves and making us think of ourselves as the lowest and the least, and, therefore, it is all good.
