'What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.'

“Love is the light that can always illuminate a world grown dim and give us courage to keep living and working. Love is possible, and we are able to practice it because we are created in the image of God.”

“Charity. To love human beings in so far as they are nothing. That is to love them as God does.”

“The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service.”

“The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful then a thousand heads bowing in prayer.”

“To adventure is to find yourself whole”

“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”

“Do not act as if you had ten thousand years to throw away. Death stands at your elbow. Be good for something while you live and it is in your power.”

“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.”

“Every good act is charity. A man's true wealth is the good that he does in this world to his fellows.”

“Hebrew word for "charity" tzedakah, simply means "justice" and as this suggests, for Jews, giving to the poor is no optional extra but an essential part of living a just life.”

“No one has ever become poor by giving.”

“Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.”
