As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

When you can't get a miracle, you can still be a miracle for someone else.

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.

Want to snatch a day from the manacles of boredom? Do overgenerous deeds, acts beyond reimbursement. Kindness without compensation. Do a deed for which you cannot be repaid.

A friend of mine characterizes leaders simply like this: Leaders don't inflict pain. They bear pain.

It is a simple tale, but its message is an enduring one: virtue and generosity will be rewarded in ways that one cannot know.

Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.

Even if it's a little thing, do something for those who have need of a man's help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it. For, remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

It is an uncomfortable doctrine which the true ethics whisper into my ear. You are happy, they say; therefore you are called upon to give much.
