This is a series of "philanthropic inspirations" to inspire more philanthropy, more charity, and more love in the world. One of the greatest joys in life is being of service to others, to helping our communities, and being connected to the rest of mankind. The easiest way to enjoy that is through philanthropy and charity. At the Philanthropy Hour, I preach the joys of achieving wealth in order to give away money, to invest in worthy nonprofit causes, and to be a good citizen of this earth.

with us.
What we do for others and the
world remains and is immortal.'

illuminate a world grown dim and give
us courage to keep living and working.
Love is possible, and we are able to

the image of God.”

4. “Charity. To love human
beings in so far as they
are nothing. That is to
love them as God does.”

dreaming dreams, but
in active charity and
in willing service.”

far more powerful then a thousand
heads bowing in prayer.”

adventure is
to find
yourself
whole”

better for the heart
than reaching down
and lifting people up.”

ten thousand years to
throw away. Death stands

and it is in your power.”

cheerfully and
accept
gratefully,
everyone is
blessed.”

A man's true wealth is the good that he
does in this world to his fellows.”

"charity" tzedakah,

poor is no optional
extra but an essential
part of living a just life.”

13. “No one has ever become
poor by giving.”

14. “Those who are happiest are
those who do the most for
others.”
