our neighbor we need not do great
things. It is how much love we put
in the doing that makes our offering
something beautiful for God.

the odds; it changes the odds.

index of our salaries or the size of our
automobiles, rather than by the quality of
our service relationship to humanity.

about reaching out, one person to another,
about all our choices gathered together as
a country to reach across all our divides.

Learn to be helpful without taking the credit.
Learn to lead without coercion.

but they need your hearts to
love them. So, spread your
love everywhere you go.

much time for gladdening the hearts
of those who are traveling the dark

man can sincerely try to help
another without helping himself.

I don't know what your destiny
will be, but one thing I do know:
the only ones among you who will
be really happy are those
who have sought and found
how to serve. Those among you
who will be truly happy are
those who have sought
and found how to serve.
?Dr. Albert Schweitzer
Somewhere on this planet,
someone has a solution to each of
the world's problems. It might be
one of us. With your help, we
can build a more hopeful world.

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared
for, forgotten by everybody,
I think that is a much greater hunger,
a much greater poverty than the person who
has nothing to eat. We must find each other.
?Mother Theresa
In every community there
is work to be done. In every
nation there are wounds to
heal. In every heart
there is the power to do it.

Kindness is more important than
wisdom and the recognition of
this is the beginning of wisdom.
?Theodore Isaac Rubin
Love is not getting, but giving.
Not a wild dream of pleasure
and a madness of desire--oh,
no--love is not that!
It is goodness and honor
and peace and pure living
Yes, love is that and it is
the best thing in the world and
the thing that lives the longest.
?Henry Van Dyke
We can do anything we want,
if we stick to it long enough.

and be kind to someone else,
and it'll become like a wildfire.

I shall pass through this world but once.
Any good thing therefore that I can do,
or any kindness that I can show to
any human being, let me do it now.
Let me not defer it or neglect it, for
I shall not pass this way again.
?Etienne de Grellet
