I'm starting to think this world is just a place for us to learn that we need each other more than we want to admit.

There are these amazing little seeds called compassion.  You should grow some.

Don’t expect a smile if you’re not smiling.Don’t expect a hug if you fold your arms across your chest.Don’t expect a laugh if you’re not laughing. Don’t expect success if you fail to do your very best.Don’t expect to hear if you’re not listening.Don’t expect to learn if books pile up and you never read.Don’t expect a friend if you’re not friendly.Don’t expect relief if you turn your back on those in need.

Love conquers all. I do not mean the exhilarating, spell-bound sort of love that temporarily intoxicates us. I mean the profound, unconditional, Christ-like sort of charitable love that endures forever. That love conquers all.

It's frustrating when our best efforts to help people fail. But if we could see life through their weary eyes and experience their trials with the same frayed emotions, we might understand why.

Sit with me, and I'll not be alone.Hold my hand, and I'll not feel alone.Cry with me, and I'll no longer suffer alone.

There are times you find yourself standing by the wayside, watching as someone struggles to dig a well with a spoon, and you wish with all your heart you had arms and a shovel.

The humanitarian is a treasure hunter seeking gems of remedy and appreciation.

Dress yourself in the silks of benevolence because kindness makes you beautiful.
