The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants andnot give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if somethingcould have materialized -- and never knowing. David Viscott
His words even imply that philanthropy has deeper depths than is generally realized. The great emotions of compassion and mercy are traced to Him; there is more to human deeds than the doers are aware. He identified every act of kindness as an expression of sympathy with Himself. All kindnesses are either done explicitly or implicitly in His name, or they are refused explicitly or implicitly in His name. Fulton J. Sheen
