AID AND ASSISTANCE

Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God --the rest will be given.
Mother Teresa

We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required, not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
John F. Kennedy

Never reach out your hand unless you're willing to extend an arm.
Elizabeth Fuller

Whoever is in the distress can call me. I will come running wherever they are.
Princess of Wales Diana

I've always though that people need to feel good about themselves and I see my role as offering support to them, to provide some light along the way.
Princess of Wales Diana

We are for aiding our allies by sharing some of our material blessings with those nations which share in our fundamental beliefs, but we are against doling out money government to government, creating bureaucracy, if not socialism, all over the world. We set out to help 19 countries. We are helping 107 We spent $146 billion. With that money, we bought a 2-million-dollar yacht for Haile Selassie. We bought dress suits for Greek undertakers, extra wives for Kenya government officials. We bought a thousand TV sets for a place where they have no electricity.
Ronald Reagan

One does nothing who tries to console a despondent person with word. A friend is one who aids with deeds at a critical time when deeds are called for.
Titus Maccius Plautus

To give aid to every poor man is far beyond the reach and power of every man. Care of the poor is incumbent on society as a whole.
Baruch (Benedict de) Spinoza

Help a man against his will and you do the same as murder him.
Horace

Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.
George Macdonald

He stands erect by bending over the fallen. He rises by lifting others.
Robert Green Ingersoll

Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all. Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. Almsgiving is the generosity of the rich; social aid levels up social inequalities. Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.
Eva Peran

It is a kingly act to assist the fallen.
Ovid

The needs of a human being are sacred. Their satisfaction cannot be subordinated either to reasons of state, or to any consideration of money, nationality, race, or color, or to the moral or other value attributed to the human being in question, or to any consideration whatsoever.
Simone Weil

These unhappy times call for the building of plans that build from the bottom up and not from the top down, that put their faith once more in the forgotten man at the bottom of the economic pyramid.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

For the cause that lacks assistance, The wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that I can do.
George Linnaeus Banks

If my daughter, Liza, wants to become an actress, I'll do everything to help her.

HELP = H(umor), E-go, edging God out, L-istening, P-urpose
Ken Blanchard

Slow help is no help.
Proverbs

"It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, and for the few...and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity."
Hillary Clinton

Mutual aid is as much a law of animal life as mutual struggle.
Prince Pyotr Kropotkin

We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
Dr. Loretta Scott

No one will persist long in helping someone who will not help themselves.
Johnson
