HOVEL, n. The fruit of a flower called the Palace.
Twaddle had a hovel, Twiddle had a palace; Twaddle said: "I'll grovel Or he'll think I bear him malice" -- A sentiment as novel As a castor on a chalice.
Down upon the middle Of his legs fell Twaddle And astonished Mr. Twiddle, Who began to lift his noddle. Feed upon the fiddle- Faddle flummery, unswaddle A new-born self-sufficiency and think himself a [mockery.] --G.J.

Blessings on the hand of women!
Angels guard its strength and grace,
In the palace, cottage, hovel,
Oh, no matter where the place. . . .
William Ross Wallace
[In the 1960s, liberals] were arguing there was a constitutional basis to allow a judicially imposed redistribution of wealth: 'Why should one person live in a hovel and another live in a palace?', ... None of it got off the ground.

Charity requires sacrifice, and members of Congress could set a good example of charity by giving up their pay increase,
Tom Coburn
But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves?- Charity begins at home, is the voice of the world; Yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner
Thomas Browne, Sr.
Your smiling in your brother's face is charity; and your exhorting man to virtuous deeds is charity; and your prohibiting the forbidden is charity; and your showing men the road, in the land in which they lose it, is charity; and your assisting the b

Censorship, like charity, should begin at home, but unlike charity, it should end there.

Americans are stuck at giving 2 percent of their income to charity. What that means is that it's a fixed pie. ... Unless people change their behavior, a lot of giving will be taken away from other groups.

We're going home now and hopefully that will help. It's a different environment. This (The Palace) is a tough place to play. Hopefully we can get home and we will be able to ante-up for Game 3.

It takes a heap o' children to make a home that's true, And home can be a palace grand, or just a plain, old shoe; But if it has a mother dear, and a good old dad or two, Why, that's the sort of good old home for good old me and you

What you have is charity giving a positive veneer to an activity that may not be all that positive for many of the people that participate. It doesn't look good, feel good or smell good when charity is raising money not because of the charitable intent of people, but in a sense because of their weakness.

What donors need to do is go to the charity's Web site and see how they say they are going to use the money and if they have a question, call. Usually they'll be happy to establish a relationship with you so you know what the charity is using the money for and if it's being used the way you want them to. That way everyone will be happy, and charities want that because they want happy donors who will continue giving.
Michael Solomon
I have come to the conclusion that charity is only charity when you give goods, services or money without personal gain, benefit or recognition of any kind. True charity is anonymous. It begins and ends within your self.
