Charity is an inward affection, moving man to do what is good, and
this without recompense. So to act is his life's delight.
The life of charity is to will well and to do well by the neighbor; in
all work, and in every employment, acting out of regard to what is
just and equitable, good and true. In a word, the life of charity
consists in the performance of uses.
