Help Others Quotes

    “First be full of love, then the sharing happens.  And then the great surprise… that as you give, you start receiving from unknown sources, from unknown corners, from unknown people, from trees, from rivers, from mountains.  From all nooks and corners of existence love starts showering on you.  The more you give, the more you get.  Life becomes a sheer dance of love.” ~ Osho, Love, Freedom, Alonenss: The Koan of Relationships

      “You have to create the atmosphere of happiness around you.  If everybody is miserable, how can you be happy?  You will be affected.  You are not a stone, you are a very delicate being, very sensitive.  If everybody is miserable around you, their misery will affect you.  Misery is as infectious as any disease.  Blissfulness is also infectious as any disease.  If you help others to be happy, in the end you help yourself to be happy.” ~ Osho, Love, Freedom, Alonenss: The Koan of Relationships

        “Victims [of bullying] say that when they’re taunted and demeaned and no one comes to their defense, they start to believe they deserve it.  They start to judge themselves and to think that they are inferior.” ~ Carol Dweck, Mindset

          “When I genuinely love I am extending myself, and when I am extending myself I am growing.  The more I love, the longer I love, the larger I become.  Genuine love is self-replenishing.  The more I nurture the spiritual growth of others, the more my own spiritual growth is nurtured.  I am a totally selfish human being.  I never do something for somebody else but that I do it for myself.  And as I grow through love, so grows my joy, ever more present, ever more constant.” ~ Scott Peck, The Road Less Traveled

            “He who devotes himself to service with a clear conscience, will day by day grasp the necessity for it in greater measure, and will continually grow richer in faith… If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make not only for our own happiness but that of the world at large.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

              “When we decide to be happy we accept the responsibility to bring happiness to someone else. Some decide that happiness and glee are the same thing, they are not. When we choose happiness we accept the responsibility to lighten the load of someone else and to be a light on the path to another who may be walking in darkness.” ~ Maya Angelou

                “If you’re not giving of yourself as much as you’re giving of your wallet, are you really generous down deep? We should work hard to make the Virtuous Circle of Generosity the number-one epidemic in the United States – giving of wealth, giving of self. Unstoppable and unending. ~ Dave Thomas, Wendy’s
