Albert Schweitzer on charity

Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.

The ethic of Reverence for Life is the ethic of Love widened into universality.

The only way out of today’s misery is for people to become worthy of each other’s trust.

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.

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

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?

Fulton J. Sheen1895–1979
