The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.
If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
What are you doing for others?
Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
If you’re in the luckiest one per cent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 per cent.
Service to humanity is service to God. Let the love and light of the Kingdom radiate through you until all who look upon you shall be illumined by its reflection. Be as stars, brilliant and sparkling in the loftiness of their heavenly station.
If we do not lay out ourselves in the service of mankind whom should we serve?
Do not do to others what angers you if done to you by others.
To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. [...] You only need a heart full of grace.
You only need a heart full of grace
There is no higher religion than human service.
Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve.
... In contrast to the "banality of evil," which posits that ordinary people can be responsible for the most despicable acts of cruelty and degradation of their fellows, I posit the "banality of heroism," which unfurls the banner of the heroic Everyman and Everywoman who heed the call to service to humanity when their time comes to act. When that bell rings, they will know that it rings for them. It sounds a call to uphold what is best in human nature that rises above the powerful pressures of Situation and System as the profound assertion of human dignity opposing evil.
The world's forests need to be seen for what they are - giant global utilities, providing essential public services to humanity on a vast scale. They store carbon, which is lost to the atmosphere when they burn, increasing global warming. The life they support cleans the atmosphere of pollutants and feeds it with moisture. They act as a natural thermostat, helping to regulate our climate and sustain the lives of 1.4 billion of the poorest people on this Earth.
Every effort to make society sensitive to the importance of the family, is a great service to humanity.
