Quotes about Benevolence, Charity or Love vs. Selfishness
- Benevolence does not consist in Those who are prosperous pitying and helping those who are not. It consists in fellow feelings that place you on the same level as the fellow who suffers.
- The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one's self to others. --PIERRE TEILHARD DE CHARDIN

Connect With Others = People are selfish, so if you really want to be able to help someone, you need to speak to their needs first. By listening to people and letting them talk it out, you can then talk to them—not correct them or change them—by letting them know you know how they feel. Connect with others on their ground.

Deuteronomy 15:7-15 “If there is a poor man with you, one of your brothers, in any of your towns in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand from your poor brother; but you shall freely open your hand to him, and shall generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks. Beware that there is no base thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of remission, is near,’ and your eye is hostile toward your poor brother, and you give him nothing; then he may cry to the Lord against you, and it will be a sin in you. You shall generously give to him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all your undertakings. For the poor will never cease to be in the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall freely open your hand to your brother, to your needy and poor in your land.’ “If your kinsman, a Hebrew man or woman, is sold to you, then he shall serve you six years, but in the seventh year you shall set him free. When you set him free, you shall not send him away empty-handed. You shall furnish him liberally from your flock and from your threshing floor and from your wine vat; you shall give to him as the Lord your God has blessed you. You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this today.
