We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.

Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.

You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others - something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.
----Albert Schweitzer

Therefore search and see if there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.
----Albert Schweitzer

"For it is in giving that we receive."
-- Saint Francis of Assisi

"It is not enough merely to exist. It's not enough to say, 'I'm earning enough to support my family. I do my work well. I'm a good father, husband, churchgoer.' That's all very well. But you must do something more. Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. Even if it's a little thing, do something for those who need help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too."
-- Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965), French philosopher, physician.

"I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve."
-- Albert Schweitzer

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
----Mother Teresa

"Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So spread your love everywhere you go."
-----Mother Teresa

"When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else. And it'll become like wildfire."
----Whoopi Goldberg

It is a kingly act to assist the fallen.
---Mother Teresa

"Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don't only give your care, but give your heart as well."
----Mother Teresa

The world is moved not only by the mighty shoves of the heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.
- Helen Keller

No man can live happily who regards himself alone,
who turns everything to his own advantage.
You must live for others
if you wish to live for yourself.
~ Seneca

"Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have."
- Margaret Mead

Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you."
--Mother Teresa

There is a destiny that makes us brothers,
  None goes his way alone;
All that we send into the lives of others
  Comes back into our own.
     --- Edwin Markham, 1852 - 1940
