Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.
When you become detached mentally from yourself and concentrate on helping other people with their difficulties, you will be able to cope with your own more effectively. Somehow, the act of self - giving is a personal power - releasing factor.
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else.
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
If you haven't got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.
It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.
The more you love, the more you crave.
The more you love, the more you suffer.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.

You cannot do a kindness too soon.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Forgiveness is choosing to love. It is the first skill of self-giving love.
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

It is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.
What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?
