Set about doing good to somebody. Put on your hat and go and visit the sick and poor of your neighborhood; inquire into their circumstances and minister to their wants. Seek out the desolate and afflicted and oppressed ... I have often tried this method, and have always found it the best medicine for a heavy heart.

The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer somebody else up.

A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labours of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received.

I quite like it when I'm on the Tube and people offer me their seat. Sometimes I take it. The other day I was offered a seat by a pregnant lady. I thought, 'That's going a bit far.'

I would never turn my back on my fellow citizens.

Ask for help. Not because you are weak. But because you want to remain strong.

God does not want to make us comfortable as much as He wants to make us comfort-able - to take the comfort that we receive and share it with others.

One of the problems with being relatively conscious and human, is that you want to help everybody.

I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people.

Life isn't just about what you can have; it's about what you have to give, what kind of person do you want to be?

The strength of a friendship can be measured by the weight of the burden it's willing to share. (If you want to test this just ask someone to help you move.)

Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being.
