HELPING OTHERS QUOTATIONS
“To strengthen the muscles of your heart, the best exercise is lifting someone else's spirit whenever you can.”

Dodinsky

“To help yourself, help others. Whatever good you do travels a circle and returns to you many times over- but remember, life isn't about what you get, it's about what you become.”

Dennis Gaskill

“In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us.”

Flora Edwards

“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.”

Maya Angelou

“Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone’s soul heal.”

Jalal ad-Din Rumi

“Our true work is not our job, that is what we do, not what we were created to do. Our true work is to look after each other, to protect each other and to be of benefit to one another.”

Bill Gates

“A cup that is already full cannot have more added to it. In order to receive the further good, we must give of that which we have.”

Margaret Becker

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

Ronald Reagan

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”

Fred Rogers

“One of the greatest things you can do to help others is not just to share and give what you have, but to help them discover what they have within themselves to help themselves.”

Rita Zahara

“Our greatness has always come from people who expect nothing and take nothing for granted—folks who work hard for what they have, then reach back and help others after them.”

Michelle Obama

“In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance. ”

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Help others. What I did before is raise 175 dollars for a man because he didn't have a heater or a bicycle. I did this because I love other people instead of myself. 8 years old=)

What a beautiful picture. Helping and encouraging children in need. I experienced my own child being in a children's home for near 2 years it was a very difficult time.. Especially at Christmas time may God bless those with compassionate hearts as these that work with our children!!
Lily from Tianjin,China SEPTEMBER 11, 2011
Helping others in need is really a kind thing in our daily life. We can lend a helping hand for once, but it's really hard to be willing to help others in one's entire life. I just hope that we can do this kind of thing whenever they are needed.

Every person on this earth should love, respect, communicate, assist in every way they can, their parents, because they are why you are here and when they are gone, they will never be seen again. I know I miss mine and think about them daily, bye mom/dad.
Desiree from Alabama JANUARY 16, 2011
We all have something we can do everyday to help someone in need even if it's just a smile and kind words.
