Sophie Lowe Quotes

When we talk about having a life of significance and meaning, it's not about fame or money or resources. It's about people and lives and hearts. That's my biggest passion in life.

That's what helps me keep playing: the idea of giving something to others. Because personally, I've had my fill.

We can all be successful and make money, but when we die, that ends. But when you are significant is when you help other people be successful. That lasts many a lifetime.

It wasn't about mechanics; it was about a feeling, wanting to give someone something, which in turn was really gratifying. That really resonated for me.

Hope and purpose in this world is living as best as you can and maybe having life that gives back. But simply giving back isn't purpose; it's a branch of purpose, but it is not the trunk or root of the tree.

What good is my parents' wealth and education and upbringing if I'm not contributing to the world?

If it awakens in us as a whole how important that is - the theme of how conquest and ambition are meaningless without contribution - I think then as a society we're in better shape. I hope people are inspired to be the best.

To be part of something that's so important to other people, it's strange and it's unmooring, and it's deeply beautiful, and it's the gift that keeps on giving.

If you want to experience joy in your life, you have to be able to step outside yourself and become part of a cause that is much larger than you; one that brings a greater good to a greater community.

A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.

If I'm remembered for having done a few good things, and if my presence here has sparked some good energies, that's plenty.

We only have so much life left. Before I do die, I want to do something good for people.

From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.

I think the main thing is to find something you care about. A cause. I think it starts with others. Who do you look up to? Who do you want to help? Start in your own community.

I would just like to be able to give to people through acting. If I can entertain people by being somebody else and allow somebody to feel something, then that makes me feel good.

It gives me satisfaction to help people.

It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives.

I think there is something for all of us where you find a balance in your life, where you feel that everything you do isn't about your own creature comforts or satisfying your own appetites. Some of it has to be directed outward and there is a huge satisfaction in that.

Not surprisingly, most people feel most beautiful when they are involved in an act of service, or are doing something that makes them feel generous, connected, or seen by others.

Money comes and goes. When you pass away it's about what you've done to make this world a better place.

I don't spend any time thinking about my place in history, ever. If people say I changed things, it's nice, and I take it - but if I could give it to a charity it would be useful. I really believe now that my only job in life is to achieve a state of comfort and happiness.

It's nice to help remember somebody who really made a very positive difference in the world.

I never sell a book. I sell myself. And the way to sell yourself is to be an instrument of love.

What have you given the world it never possessed before you came?
