Francis Bacon Charity Quotations

Certainly it is a heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind to move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.

He that defers his charity until he is dead is, if a man weighs it rightly, rather liberal of another man's goods than his own

Defer not charities till death; for certainly, if a man weigh it rightly, he that doth so is rather liberal of another man's than of his own.

In charity there is no excess.

The desire for power in excess caused angels to fall; the desire for knowledge in excess caused man to fall; but in charity is no excess, neither can man or angels come into danger by it
