As we help others, we cannot help but help ourselves.

I don't think you can do anything for anyone without giving up something of your own.

Whatever you choose for yourself, give to another. If you choose to be happy, cause another to be happy. If you choose to be prosperous, cause another to prosper. If you choose more love in your life, cause another to have more love in theirs.

Humility reminds you that in order to receive value, you must create value in equal measure.

I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects

If you help and serve others, you will ultimately gain.

The act of true giving is indistinguishable from receiving.

You should never take more than you give

If you want to be happy, make someone else happy. If you want to find the right person in your life, be the right person. If you want to see change in the world, become the change you want to see.

You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving." The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.

Helping others is the way we help ourselves.

Givers advance the world. Takers advance themselves and hold the world back

Every time we interact with another person at work, we have a choice to make: do we try to claim as much value as we can, or contribute value without worrying about what we receive in return?

All that you give to others you are giving to yourself.

When you do good by the world, the world will do good by you

You have more fun and enjoy more financial success when you stop trying to get what you want and start helping other people get what they want.

Do well by doing good.

When we care for others our own strength to live increases. When we help people expand their state of life, our lives also expand. Actions to benefit others are not separate from actions to benefit oneself. Our lives and the lives of others are ultimately inseparable.

There is no real separation between self or no-self. Anything you do for yourself you do for the society at the same time. And anything you do for society you do for yourself also.

As we give, so shall we receive. Service does not mean self-sacrifice. It means giving the needs of another person the same priority as our own.

When you engage in fulfilling the needs of others, your own needs are fulfilled as a by-product.

If you focus only on yourself and neglect others, you will lose; but you will gain if you value others as much as you cherish yourself.

When we do any good to others, we do as much, or more, good to ourselves.

In all works of liberality something more is to be considered besides the occasion of the givers; and that is the occasion of the receivers.

People fail to understand that unless they are themselves willing to give, they will never receive.
