I don't usually talk about the social work I do because I don't do it for publicity. If I can bring a smile to the face of a few children in this one lifetime, I'd be happy.

No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others; or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist.

Give of yourself to others and others will give of themselves to you.

God's gifts aim at making us into generous givers, not just fortunate receivers. God gives so that we, in human measure, can be givers too.

To give to God is to take from God's right hand and put that very thing back into God's left hand.

The Divine Economy is automatic and very simple: we receive only that which we give.

You will find happiness only by helping others to find it.

What! Giving again?" I ask in dismay. "And must I keep giving and giving away?" "Oh no," said the angel looking me through, "Just keep giving till the Master stops giving to you!

It's amazing how people will give when you don't ask. Many of them send money because they believe in the message.

I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.

A happiness that is sought for ourselves alone can never be found: for a happiness that is diminished by being shared is not big enough to make us happy.

God does not give his joy to us for ourselves alone, and if we could possess him for ourselves alone we would not possess him at all. Any joy that does not overflow from our souls and help other men to rejoice in God does not come to us form God. (But do not think that you have to see how it overflows into the souls of others. In the economy of his grace, you may be sharing his gifts with someone you will never know until you get to heaven.)
