Charity—giving to the poor—is an essential part of Christian morality... I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our own charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditure excludes them. – C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men. – Billy Graham

What I gave I have, what I spent I had; and what I left I lost. – Robert of Doncaste

Another thing that annoys me is when people say "Why did you give that man money? He'll probably go and drink it." My reply is "But if I'd kept [it] I should probably have drunk it." – C.S. Lewis
