451 Quotes About Selflessness

Those who live as though God sets the rules are not going by their own rules. That is the self-sacrifice, or selflessness, that peace more often than not requires. Those who insist on going by their own rules cannot make that sacrifice. They are the steady adherents of (global) conflict because they are forever fighting both themselves and others to do whatever they think that they want to do.

-Criss Jami

The greatest gift you can ever give another person is your own happiness

-Esther Hicks

Unselfish SonnetUnself your soul,And lo the joy pours.Wipe out the I,And the world is yours.The more selfish you are,The more anxious you'll be.One who's lost in service,Is the epitome of humanity.In a world of self-obsession,Be the spark most selfless.Burn yourself to ashes,Let all bathe in your kindness.To give is to live o human.To die for others is salvation.

-Abhijit Naskar

    Belief is not subject to the will. Men think as they must. Children do not, and cannot, believe exactly as they were taught. They are not exactly like their parents. They differ in temperament, in experience, in capacity, in surroundings. And so there is a continual, though almost imperceptible change. There is development, conscious and unconscious growth, and by comparing long periods of time we find that the old has been almost abandoned, almost lost in the new.

I am thankful that there are those among us who have sacrificed dearly on behalf of us. And I ardently pray to God that I might be less like myself and more like them.

A selfish life isn’t God’s purpose for you

-Sunday Adelaja

Not everyone who has helped or is helping you wanted or wants to help you.

-Mokokoma Mokhonoana

You shouldn’t live for yourself alone but you must also learn to live the Christian life

-Sunday Adelaja

We are but cells living in a much larger organism, however, this does not make our existence less significant – for an organism without cells is no organism at all. We define it; we make it what it is. We are responsible for its health, its functionality, and above all, its purpose. A lone cell can restore the others, or a lone cell can spread a plague.

-A.J. Darkholme
