We cannot expect to lift others unless we stand on higher ground ourselves.

Help more than is needed.Care more than is required.Give more than is expected.Love more than is anticipated.

The best work of all is when you are achieving your own goals by helping others to achieve theirs.

The most important step we can take toward Mars is to make significant progress on Earth. Even modest improvements in the social, economic, and political problems that our global civilization now faces could release enormous resources, both material and human, for other goals.

If we take good care of ourselves, we help everyone. We stop being a source of suffering to the world, and we become a reservoir of joy and freshness. Here and there are people who know how to take good care of themselves, who live joyfully and happily. They are our strongest support. Whatever they do, they do for everyone.

Even if you're a giver who likes to give, it's exhausting being married to a taker. A taker will suck the life out of you in many ways, and in one sense undercut your ability to minister to others.

spend much of their time and effort trying to bring people down to their level of misery rather than blessing others with joy and encouragement.

If you have an extra shirt to give to a toxic person, be kind. If you can give to a difficult individual without taking time away from a reliable individual, go for it. But if your investment of time and money keeps you from fulfilling your ministry and fighting your own battles, including investing in other reliable people, it's time to reevaluate. It's time to say no—even to your children.

You won't find happiness at the end of a road named selfishness.

Love only grows by sharing. You can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others.

The more credit you give away, the more will come back to you. The more you help others, the more they will want to help you.

Kindness and remembrance. — A person cannot forget someone who is good to them.
