I hate fund-raising. Haaaaate it. Hate, hate it.

I believe that of all the things I have done, exciting though many of them have been, there’s no doubt in my mind that the most worthwhile have been the establishing of schools and hospitals, and the rebuilding of monasteries in the mountains.

Never let your zeal outrun your charity. The former is but human, the latter is divine.

Pfft, I hate Christmas Day. It’s for children and families. Not for people like me.

A word to the wise is infuriating.

As a Christian, you forgive, and you feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and you visit the sick and comfort the lonely. If I’m a true follower of my lord and saviour Jesus Christ, I got to do the things you’re supposed to be doing.

I have been working for Africans since I was 18, when I got involved with the Nelson Mandela concerts. I got involved with debt cancellation because Desmond Tutu demanded that the world respond to that situation.

I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.

I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion about the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.

It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Philanthropy should be taking much bigger risks that business. If these are easy problems, business and government can come in and solve them.

Hatred is active, and envy passive dislike; there is but one step from envy to hate.

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.

Many people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do. But there is a way to live a simple, joy-filled, peaceful life, and the key is learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the traditions or expectations of man.

I mean, I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated in my life.

People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

With regard to donations always expect the most from prudent people, who keep their own accounts.

As a coach, one thing that used to frustrate me was one player would make a bad decision, and that’s all you would read about in the papers all over the country. We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.

Frankly, if I could get away with not having to perform, I’d be very happy. It’s not my favorite thing to do.

Frustration is a sign I am acting independently. The more you try your own way, the tighter the doors will stay closed.

The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.

I have a form of Parkinson’s disease, which I don’t like. My legs don’t move when my brain tells them to. It’s very frustrating.

Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

I never went to school more than six months in my life, but I can say this: that among my earliest recollections, I remember how, when a mere child, I used to get irritated when anybody talked to me in a way I could not understand.

I’ll never make it, it will never happen, because they’re never going to hear me ‚cause they’re screaming all the time.

I’m sick of giving creeps money off my soul.

Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.

People who identify themselves as conservatives donate money to charity more often than people who identify themselves as liberals. They donate more money and a higher percentage of their incomes.

Needing to have things perfect is the surest way to immobilize yourself with frustration.

Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.

Charity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a good soil that yields an abundance of fruits. But alms given to those who are yet under the tyrannical yoke of the passions are like seed deposited in a bad soil. The passions of the receiver of the alms choke, as it were, the growth of merits.

Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it’s on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you’ve got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration.

What charitable 1 percenters can’t do is assume responsibility – America’s national responsibilities: the care of its sick and its poor, the education of its young, the repair of its failing infrastructure, the repayment of its staggering war debts.

The worst way of flying, I think, is standby. It never works. That’s why they call it standby. You end up standing there going, ‚Bye!‘

If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.

If I cry, it’s because I’m very angry and I can’t do anything about it because I’ve run into a dead end. That’s when the tears would come down.

Print some money and give it to us for the rain forests.

The usual method of finding a little dongly thing that actually matches a gizmo I want to use is to go and buy another one, at a price that can physically drive the air from your body.

You can’t take care of charity unless you take care of yourself first.

On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we’re going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.

You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There’s another day you might want to know about: Giving Tuesday. The idea is pretty straightforward. On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, shoppers take a break from their gift-buying and donate what they can to charity.

My mom was on the United Way group that decides how to allocate the money and looks at all the different charities and makes the very hard decisions about where that pool of funds is going to go.

This is pure speculation, but for a period of time, a lot of getting into a party was through fundraising and volunteer work, and Republican women had more time to do that than democratic women, who were out there getting jobs.
