“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop”
Mother Teresa

“Sport has the power to change the world.
It has the power to inspire.
It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does.
Sport can awaken hope where there was previously only despair.”
– Nelson Mandela

“All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning.”

Loved this quote as Charity Matters is all about the beginnings of non-profits and how one person created goodness. Happy Spring everyone and wishing you all a season of endless new beginnings. Charity Matters.

“The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.”

As a child I was always told that I was, “Irish as Paddy’s pig.” So what Irish girl doesn’t love some great Irish proverbs? So in honor of tomorrow here are a few I thought you might enjoy.
A little kinship is better than a lot of charity.
A word is more enduring than worldy wealth.
He who comes with a story to you brings two away from you.
People live in each other’s shelter.
What fills the eye fills the heart.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.
Wishing you a very Happy St. Patricks Day and blessings on you all.
Charity Matters.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”
Woodrow Wilson
In honor of Presidents Day, I thought a quote from Abraham Lincoln would be a fitting tribute.
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion.
Even Abe knew Charity Matters.

A new oath holds pretty well; but… when it is become old, and frayed out, and damaged by a dozen annual retrieving of its remains, it ceases to be serviceable; any little strain will snap it.
Mark Twain
“Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself…”
~Norman Wesley Brooks, “Let Every Day Be Christmas,” 1976
