"Our charity begins at home, And mostly ends where it begins"
- Horace Smith
About this Quote
This quote by Horace Smith is a pointer that we ought to not forget to take care of ourselves and our loved ones first. It is important to prioritize our own requirements and those of our family and friends before we can assist others. The quote suggests that our charity needs to start with our own house and those closest to us, and that is where it should end. It is very important to bear in mind that we can not assist others if we do not look after ourselves initially. We must not forget to reveal generosity and compassion to those around us, and to ourselves. We ought to strive to be generous and charitable, but not at the expense of our own wellbeing. Looking after ourselves and our liked ones is the initial step in having the ability to help others.
