"Even if you can't prevent another's sorrow, caring will lessen it." -- Frank A. Clark "The happiest people are rarely the richest, or the most beautiful, or even the most talented. Their eyes are turned outward; they are aware, compassionate. They have the capacity to love." -- Jane Canfield "We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own." -- Ben Sweetland "Sometimes the best helping hand you can get is a good, firm push." -- Joann Thomas "Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day." -- Sally Koch "We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it." -- George Bernard Shaw "There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew." -- Marshall McLuhan "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." -- Martin Luther King, Jr. "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." -- Mahatma Gandhi "None of us has gotten where we are solely by pulling ourselves up from our own bootstraps. We got here because somebody bent down and helped us." -- Thurgood Marshal "Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others." --  Audrey Hepburn "There is no such thing as just existing. Everything is in service to everything else. Existence is giving and receiving. A stone gives and receives no less than a saint." -- Jacob Needleman "I don't believe in charity. I believe in solidarity. Charity is so vertical. It goes from the top to the bottom. Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other person and learns from the other. Most of us have a lot to learn from other people." -- Eduardo Galeano "Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me." -- Albert Schweitzer “No exercise is better for the human heart than reaching down and lifting another up.” -- John Andrew Holmes "There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success." -- George Matthew Adams "A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself." -- Robert Burton "Haud ignara maki, miseris succurrere disco. - Not unacquainted with distress, I have learned to succour the unfortunate." -- Virgil "He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other." --  Francis Bacon
