“To me it seems that to give happiness is a far nobler goal that to attain it: and that what we exist for is much more a matter of relations to others than a matter of individual progress: much more a matter of helping others to heaven than of getting there ourselves.”

Lewis Carroll author, mathematician, clergyman

Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough, we must do. #<Author:0x00007f0f3ed42660>
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
The moment you accept responsibility for everything in your life is the moment you gain the power to change anything in your life. #<Author:0x00007f0f3ed279c8>
RESPONSIBILITY
Always reward your long hours of labor surrounded by your family. Nurture their love carefully, remembering that your children need models, not critics. And even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have a loving family, you are a success. #<Author:0x00007f0f3ed95c70>
FAMILY
Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others? #<Author:0x00007f0f3ed6f110>
BEING THERE
It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary. #<Author:0x00007f0f3edcc518>
SELF-CARE
Victory is remembered for at most two decades; an act of good sportsmanship is remembered for a lifetime. #<Author:0x00007f0f3edb5e30>
SPORTSMANSHIP
When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor. #<Author:0x00007f0f3edffd00>
SHARING
Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition – such as lifting weights – we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity. #<Author:0x00007f0f3eded6a0>
CHARACTER
I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve. #<Author:0x00007f0f3edd7198>
SERVICE
I know you've heard it a thousand times before, but it's true... hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. #<Author:0x00007f0f3ee25500>
PRACTICE
Now, feel. I am thee and thou art me and all of one is the other. And feel now. Thou hast no heart but mine. #<Author:0x00007f0f3ee0f408>
CONNECTION
Education is the way to move mountains, to build bridges, to change the world. #<Author:0x00007f0f3ee5d900>
EDUCATION
The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need people who can dream of things that never were and ask 'why not'? #<Author:0x00007f0f3ee47740>
INNOVATION
Once you choose hope, anything's possible. #<Author:0x00007f0f3ee357c0>
HOPE
When you live for a strong purpose, hard work isn’t an option. It’s a necessity. #<Author:0x00007f0f3ee7f578>
HARD WORK
Infinitely more important than sharing one's material wealth is sharing the wealth of ourselves—our time and energy, our passion and commitment, and, above all, our love. #<Author:0x00007f0f3ee6d0f8>
