Frank Tyger on charity

Swallow your pride occasionally, it’s not fattening.

Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble.

To laugh with others is one of life’s great pleasures. To be laughed at by others is one of life’s great hurts.

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’

Martin Luther King Jr.1929–1968Conquering Self-centeredness (1957)

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving? Show me your feet. Are they wounded in service? Show me your heart. Have you left a place for divine love?
