I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give. 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 a potential to turn a life around. It's overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt.
Leo Buscaglia
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.
Dalai Lama
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won't like you at all.
Rita Mae Brown
Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.
Buddha
If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.
Maya Angelou
Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.
Scott Adams
I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found
that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others
automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on
external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.
Dalai Lama
