I won't lie__ don't

Choose altruism, because selfishism is a lonely, cold, dark hole.

The reality is that doing good unto others actually does more good for you.

Do what you can to help people but have the wisdom to accept your limits.

A tiny spark ignites a flame, just as a helping hand can do the same

Many times when we help we do not really serve. . . . Serving is also different from fixing. One of the pioneers of the Human Potential Movement, Abraham Maslow, said, "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.' Seeing yourself as a fixer may cause you to see brokenness everywhere, to sit in judgment of life itself. When we fix others, we may not see their hidden wholeness or trust the integrity of the life in them. Fixers trust their own expertise. When we serve, we see the unborn wholeness in others; we collaborate with it and strengthen it. Others may then be able to see their wholeness for themselves for the first time.

I thought... I thought you might..." "Help you? By my grove, I am helping you. You're not starving anymore, are you? <_> You had a dry night's sleep, too, and you're no longer coughing your liver and lights out. Some might count those as mighty gifts indeed.

People who help others on a regular basis are ten times more likely to be healthy than people who do not.

My mother said the cure for thinking too much about yourself was helping somebody who was worse off than you.

Ultimately virility is all about helping others express their reluctantly shared feelings while doing so from a safe distance.

You cannot fully understand a person's need until you have endured the same need. As hard as you may try to predict and comprehend their situation and suffering, I guarantee you'll fall short until you've been there.
