‘The Week’ is my favourite magazine. Everyone from presidents to CEOs of companies love it, politicians, people in the massive charity business in America, in the arts and even more especially in the media.

I want to make the most out of the word ‘fame.’ I want to do good things with my fame, or whatever it is. I want to help and do charity work.

Charity work is part of my life. I do it, I expect to do it, but it is not a career.
I asked long ago,’What must I do to be saved?’ The Scripture answered, ‘Keep the commandments, believe, hope, love.’ I was early warned against laying, as the Papists do, too much stress on outward works, or on a faith without works, which as it does not include, so it will never lead to true hope or charity.
I am a charity campaigner.
I don’t think there’s a public in the world who respond like the British to a call for charity.

I want to be part of a different kind of celebrity, one that thinks not just about charity but policy.
Today, our actions must be motivated only by our intense desire to achieve a just and lasting peace. The compassion and charity of the American people should be reflected in this legislation, though sadly, they are silenced.
The greatest obstacle to the welfare state is not greed but private charity that makes the welfare state irrelevant; the greatest obstacle to re-education of children in the name of the collective is allegiance to a higher power.

There are all kinds of great things that megachurches and successful fundraising appeals can allow you to do, especially in terms of overseas charity work, and so on. I’m just arguing that American Christians need to recognize the temptations that can expose you to as well.

I want to show people who I am, introduce them to my family, where I’ve come from, how I’m helping people with my charity work. I know it sounds boring, but with that comes with a lot and a lot of bumps in the road.
I love charity. Ask anyone.
I’d love to have a lasting impact as far as growing the game. It would be cool to be remembered as a major champion. I’d like to be remembered as a great golfer but also a great person, as far as growing the game and charity work. The whole well-rounded athlete.
My mom used to always read Bible scriptures to me and constantly say, ‘Charity starts at home.’ I always kept that in my mind and watched how it came to reality.

On the whole, the experience that the activity of the soul obeys the law of least resistance has been verified even in regard to women’s social morals. As a rule, these have been focused on the family and on charity – among other reasons, because woman’s sense of duty seldom finds means of expression in other directions.
When you have kids, you just love them. It’s similar to when you’re in love with someone. You just think they are so cool and want to be around them all the time, but what if she starts being embarrassed and only giving me charity visits? I want her to actually want to see me, so that’s what I’m going for!
My mother grew up strong. She was a charismatic leader among her peers, staging plays, organizing projects, raising money for charity; she was fiercely protective of her younger brother, with whom she shared a passion for jazz and rock and roll.
If you’re the president of a charity, you can’t take the money out of the charity and use it to buy things for yourself. And you can’t take the money out of the charity and use it to buy things for your business.
I met Clinton at a benefit for teachers, which was a very good charity, but I met him for about 90 seconds, and I thought it was important to meet the leader of the free world. So I stood next to him for a photograph, and then apparently that’s all it takes.

For charity purposes, how do I help? A lot of prospective levers and tools have come into my life.

Once money goes into a charity, it is tax exempt, so that’s a benefit you get. And in return, you have to use the assets of the charity to serve the public good.

I really enjoy charity work and helping people.
I give a lot to charity when it comes to clothes.

Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.
I was the kid at school who wore clothes from charity shops.

I’m not going to run around uselessly spending money. It’s a matter of choosing your charity. Some people choose themselves. For me, that is not enough.

To give up yourself without regret is the greatest charity.

I am in a charity out there to stop violence against women.
I’ve long wanted to find a charitable cause to really get involved with and be passionate about. I get invited to a lot of charity events to sing, and I am happy to help and bring a source of entertainment, but I’m sort of disconnected from them.
My biggest hope for the future is that we’re successful in delivering the treatment to people through the charity and that burns just become something that happens in people’s lives but doesn’t make them a misfit in society and exclude them and stop all their dreams and ambitions.
I will say that when I retire, I will probably do something to help others. I don’t know know what it will be… probably I’ll get involved in some charity.

The goal of the program, called Giving With Purpose, is to teach college students – and anyone else who cares to register – how to beneficially contribute to charity. That’s not necessarily easy.

I think charity begins with your family and you take it from there.
Education and health were always matters of charity. You educated children and you helped the sick because they were good things to do, not because you were going to make money out of them.

Actually I do support a charity, DefendersofWildLife.org. They help protect endangered species.
IRS rules generally prohibit acts of ‘self-dealing,’ in which a charity’s leaders use the nonprofit group’s money to buy things for themselves.

In Edinburgh, they’ve got the most insane charity shops ever.
Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it.

After my touring life, I’d love to be more involved with charity. It gives me a lot of fulfillment, you know? I would love to get people who are into my music more active in charity work. In the future, when I have more time, I’d love to do spend more time on that.

There are a lot worse things you can do with all your bucks than giving them to even a mediocre mutual fund – such as, for example, giving them to a mediocre hedge fund. If supporting the lifestyle of a mediocre fund manager is your favorite charity, who am I to stop you?
I started this charity, Fashion for Relief, in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina happened. New Orleans was actually the first place I visited in the United States. It was one of my first big jobs, a shoot for British ‘Elle.’ It was April 14, 1986.
Everybody in life is pursuing money: left, right, charity, nonprofits, everybody’s pursuing money. Everybody wants a raise. Everybody wants to improve their standard of living. Everybody wants to be rich, and especially those that go to Washington.

I’m always looking to the next thing. There are always hurdles, whether it’s the White House dinner or hosting charity events or that night’s show: Until they’re over, I worry, then I move right on to the next thing. It’s hard for me to enjoy the moment. I’m just thinking about not failing.

Anticipate charity by preventing poverty.
Charity never lacks what is her own, all that she needs for her own security. Not alone does she have it, she abounds with it.

I’ve been working for a while with a Scottish suicide prevention charity called The Joshua Nolan Foundation that brings the conversation about mental health into schools and provides free counseling for those who need it.

I admire people like Warren Buffett that are donating so much money to charity.
Some indeed have tears naturally, when the higher motion of the soul makes itself felt in the lower, or because God our Lord, seeing that it would be good for them, allows them to melt into tears.
