Wherever you turn, you can find someone who needs you. Even if it is a little thing, do something for which there is no pay but the privilege of doing it. Remember, you don’t live in the world all of your own. —Albert Schweitzer

This is a wonderful quote and everyone should think about this and act on it. We should give of ourselves and not expect anything in return.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. #<Author:0x000055e353349018>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can't put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don't overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones. #<Author:0x000055e353382818>
JOY
When you come to the edge of all that you know, you must believe one of two things: either there will be ground to stand on, or you will be given wings to fly. #<Author:0x000055e3533c15e0>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it. #<Author:0x000055e3533efd78>

Do not let making a living prevent you from making a life. #<Author:0x000055e35342d268>
LIVE LIFE
Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human. #<Author:0x000055e353483190>
COMPASSION
Dare to be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not and to believe in your own individuality. #<Author:0x000055e353498298>
CONFIDENCE
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:0x000055e35354c158>
SHARING
Gracious acceptance is an art—an art which most never bother to cultivate. We think that we have to learn how to give, but we forget about accepting things, which can be much harder than giving... Accepting another person's gift is allowing him to express his feelings for you. #<Author:0x000055e3535a3340>
GIVING BACK
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. #<Author:0x000055e353603718>
LITERACY
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. #<Author:0x000055e35363d3c8>
ACHIEVEMENT
We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. #<Author:0x000055e353683d50>
UNITY
Whatever the soul knows how to seek, it cannot fail to obtain. #<Author:0x000055e3536ccaf0>
SOUL
The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore. #<Author:0x000055e353748448>

One of the great ironies of life is this: he or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served. #<Author:0x000055e3543e1f10>

Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people. #<Author:0x000055e3542023c0>
