Nachman of Bratslav on charity

When a man is able to take abuse with a smile, he is worthy to become a leader.

The man who acts humble in order to win praise is guilty of the lowest form of pride.

A man should believe in God through faith, not because of miracles.

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?
