No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
I'm an unselfish player.
Charity begins at home, but should not end there.
Doing nothing for others is the undoing of one's self. We must be purposely kind and generous, or we miss the best part of existence. The heart that goes out of itself, gets large and full of joy. This is the great secret of the inner life. We do ourselves the most good doing something for others.
Putting yourself first is not selfish. Quite the opposite. You must put your happiness and health first before you can be of help to anyone else.
You can't save everybody. In fact, there are days when I think you can't save anyone. Each person has to save himself first, then you can move in and help. I have found this philosophy does not work during a gun battle, or a knife fight either. Outside of that it works just fine.
Besides, it's the first gift that's always the hardest to pay back. I wouldn't even have been here to do it if you hadn't helped me then.
No one stands taller in the climb to success than when he bends over to help up someone else.
Generosity is doing something for someone else expecting nothing in return.
The blessed work of helping the world forward, happily, does not wait to be done by perfect men.
Mary Ann Cross
Would we hold liberty, we must have charity- charity to others, charity to ourselves, crawling up from the moist ovens of a steaming world, still carrying the passional equipment of our ferocious ancestors, emerging from black superstition amid carnage and atrocity to our perilous present.
Travis Alexander was a good guy. Was he a saint? No. But he was somebody who was really, really invested in helping other people and making this world a better place. Everything he did, even the car he drove, was a sign of him trying to be a force for good in this world.
When you compete against everyone else, no one wants to help you. But when you compete against yourself, everyone wants to help you.
When you get the opportunity to give away somebody else's money to make somebody else's life a little better. That's pretty cool, actually.
Let's come together as the body of Christ and reach out and be the true hands and feet of Christ.
Make the world better
I think the greatest thing that we can do is take care of each other.
We feel like if we can give back, that's what we are called to do. So we've been fortunate to do a lot of really cool things and touch a lot of people's lives.
Only when you lift a burden, God will lift your burden. Divine paradox this! The man who staggers and falls because his burden is too great can lighten that burden by taking on the weight of another's burden. You get by giving, but your part of giving must be given first.
People like givers, people want to help givers. I get stuff all the time.
I aspire to be useful.
I have always got medicine I want to give to people.
The charitable say in effect, 'I seem to have more than I need and you seem to have less than you need. I would like to share my excess with you.' Fine, if my excess is tangible, money or goods, and fine if not, for I learned that to be charitable with gestures and words can bring enormous joy and repair injured feelings.
