Helpfulness

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

To ease another's heartache is to forget one's own.

The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident.

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.

Power is the ability to do good things for others.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

If you’re too busy to give your neighbor a helping hand, then you’re just too darned busy.

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.

If you haven't any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.

If a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking him if there's anything you can do. Think of something appropriate and do it.

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

To the world you may be just somebody,
but to somebody you may just be the world.

We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help in need.

We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.
