George Eliot on charity

What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?

Blessed is the man, who having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact.

An election is coming. Universal peace is declared and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.

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
