helping

Power is the ability to do good things for others.

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

Real charity and a real ability never to condemn-the one real virtue-is so often the result of a waking experience that gives a glimpse of what lies beneath things.

Nothing liberates our greatness like the desire to help the desire to serve.

Love is a choice-not simply or necessarily a rational choice but rather a willingness to be present to others without pretense or guile.

As long as you keep a person down some part of you has to be down there to hold him down so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might.

The human being who lives only for himself finally reaps nothing but unhappiness. Selfishness corrodes. Unselfishness ennobles satisfies. Don't put off the joy derivable from doing helpful kindly things for others.

It seems sometimes as if one were powerless to do any more from within to overcome troubles and that help must come from without.

Do not inflict your will. Just give love. The soul will take that love and put it where it can best be used.

My only advice is to stay aware listen carefully and yell for help if you need it.

We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.

There are times when sympathy is as necessary as the air we breathe.

To be one woman truly wholly is to be all women. Tend one garden and you will birth worlds.

The closer I'm bound in love to you the closer I am to free.

I know some good marriages-marriages where both people are just trying to get through their days by helping each other being good to each other.

If we could all hear one another's prayers God might be relieved of some of his burden.

Doing good is the only certainly happy action of a man's life.

An effort made for the happiness of others lifts us above ourselves.
