The smallest kind act is greater than the biggest good intention. 

We never really realise how important help it is to helping others, to extend a little bit of ourselves.

I believe our greatest shame is the neglect of our country's children.  The child you don't help today, may grow into the monster that rapes your daughter, sister, mother or shoots a family member for drug money. 

Is life worth living?
Yes, so long as there is wrong to right.
So long as faith with freedom reigns and loyal hope survives,
And gracious charity remains to leaven lowly lives;
While there is only one untrodden tract for intellect or will,
And men are free to think and act,
Life is worth living still.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm… As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

What really matters is not just our own winning but helping other people to win, too.

It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

Every man should esteem his neighbor as himself.

As a basic step of self-esteem, learn to treat as the mark of a cannibal any man's demand for your help.  To demand it is to claim that your life is his property --- and loathsome as such claim might be, there's something still more loathesome: your agreement.  Do you ask if it's ever proper to help another man?  No - if he claims it as his right or as a moral duty that you owe him.  Yes - if such is your own desire based on you own selfish pleasure in the value of his person and his struggle.  Suffering as such is not a value; only man's fight against suffering, is.  If you choose to help a man who suffers, do it only on the grounds of his virtue, of his fight to recover, of his rational record, or of the fact that he suffers unjustly; then your action is still a trade, and his virtue is the payment for your help.  But to help a man who has no virtues, to help him on the ground of his suffering as such, to accept his faults, his need, as a claim - is to accept the mortgage of a zero on your values.  A man who has no virtues is a hater of existence who acts on the premise of death; to help him is to sanction his evil and to support his career of destruction.  Be it only a penny you will not miss, or a small smile he has not earned,a tribute to a zero is treason to life and to all those who struggle to maintain it.  It is of such pennies and smiles that the desolation of your world was made.
