School tests what's in your head. Life tests what's in your heart.
When you measure a person, put your tape around the heart -- not the head. ~ Rebecca Kaufman
Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generation. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do not know: that people are here for the sake of other people. ~ Albert Einstein
Our task must be to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty. ~ Albert Einstein
If all human lives depended upon their usefulness, there would be a sudden and terrific mortality in the world. ~ Gene Tunney
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not becomes dirty. ~ Mohandas Gandhi
To us it seems incredible that the Greek philosophers should have delved so deeply into right and wrong, and yet never noticed the immorality of slavery. Perhaps 3000 years from now it will seem equally incredible that we did not notice the absolute immorality of our own oppression of animals. ~ Brigid Brophy
It is not enough merely to exist. You must do something more. You must give some time to your fellow man. Even if it's a little thing, do something for those who need help, something for which you get no pay but the priviledge of doing it. For you do not live in a world all your own. Your brothers and sisters are here too. ~ Albert Schweitzer
This is true joy in life -- being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as mighty; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. ~ George Bernard Shaw
You will seldom experience regret for anything that you've done. It is what you have not done that will torment you. ~ Wayne Dyer
The moment one commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help. A whole stream of events issue from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of incidents and meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would come his or her way. ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness; thinking of others first. When you learn to live for others, they will live for you. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
Life can be hard. Help another person take it easy. I am here for you. You are here for me. We are here for others.
