Business ain't charity, you know, and all these working people that think a business is run just to suit them ! And that's why you ought to have been more appreciative of all Lulu did for you and then running away and bringing her just about to the verge of nervous prostration worrying over you!"
A three-foot railing separated it from the cliff road; the windows on the ground-floor were all open, and shaded lights and the low sound of voices revealed where the occupants were finishing dinner.

It's a common situation in business." "Ah, but this is not business. It's charity." "Did Mr. Guion tell you so?" "He did. He told me all about it. My father has no secrets from me." "Did he use the word charity?" "Almost. He said you offered him a loan, but that it really was a gift."
"Charity is a greater thing than chivalry." "I am not so sure of that," said the Prince. "You had forgotten just now that I was a Doctor of Divinity; have you also forgotten that we share the honors of one of the most ancient knighthoods in the world?" "Will your Highness be so good as to explain?"

A man of "recollection" living in the eye of the Eternal; keeping a guard over himself in the smallest matters of thought and action; mystically possessed by the passion of a spiritual ideal; in love with charity, purity, simplicity of life. She bowed her head upon her hands in dreariness of spirit. Ultimately, what could such a man want with her? What had she to give him?

But their discipline was corrupted by prosperity: they gradually assumed the pride of wealth, and at last indulged the luxury of expense.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
