Kahlil Gibran on charity

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

No human relation gives one possession in another…every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship and in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone.

Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.

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
