Beyond Giving: Quotes about helping others
If you want to give something to another, as charity or a gift, there are rules and etiquette that you must know, including:
Avoiding begging those to whom you give charity.
Not talking about your charity, if it will harm the one you give charity to.
Not expecting them to thank you or love you for your gifts.
Rather, make everything you give purely for the sake of God.
