A book is not only a friend,

it makes friends for you.

When you have possessed a book
with mind and spirit,
you are enriched.
But when you pass it on
you are enriched threefold.
- Henry Miller

I expect to pass through life but once. 

If therefore, there be any kindness I can show,
or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now,
and not defer or neglect it,
as I shall not pass this way again. 

… William Penn
True generosity requires
more of us than kindly impulse.
Above all it requires imagination -- the capacity
to see people in all their perplexities and needs,
and to know how to expend ourselves
effectively for them.
- I. Wiley

If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time, but if you
have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let
us work together.

Lila Watson, Aboriginal Australian

 You must give some time
to your fellow men.
Even if it’s a little thing,
do something for others -
something for which
you get no pay
but the privilege of doing it.

Albert Schweitzer

If someone listens, or stretches out a hand,

or whispers a kind word

of encouragement,

or attempts to understand a lonely person,

extraordinary things
begin to happen. - Loretta Girzaitis
We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference,

ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time,

add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.

—Marian Wright Edelman

Two kinds of gratitude:

The sudden kind we feel for what we take;

the larger kind we feel for what we give.

Edwin Arlington Robinson

 I am done with great things and big plans,
great institutions and big success.
I am for those tiny, invisible, loving, human forces
that work from individual to individual,
creeping through the crannies of the world
like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water,
which, if given time,
will rend the hardest monuments of pride.
- William James

A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions,

and the roots spring up and make new trees.
The greatest work that kindness does to others is that
it makes them kind themselves.
Lawrence G. Lovasik
If I have been of service,
if I have glimpsed more of the nature
and essence of ultimate good,
if I am inspired to reach wider horizons
of thought and action,
if I am at peace with myself,
it has been a successful day.
- Alex Noble

it lights the whole sky.

Too often we underestimate the power

of a touch, a smile, a kind word,
a listening ear, an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring ,
all of which have the potential
to turn a life around.

A hundred times every day

I remind myself that my inner and outer life

our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame by an encounter

Imagine what a harmonious world it

could be if every single person,
both young and old, shared a little of
what he is good at doing.
