helping

The habit of being uniformly considerate toward others will bring increased happiness to you.

The true way to soften one's troubles is to solace those of others.

If you have not often felt the joy of doing a kind act you have neglected much and most of all yourself.

In about the same degree as you are helpful you will be happy.

There is no happiness in having or in getting but only in giving.

Happiness ... consists in giving and in serving others.

The most exquisite pleasure is giving pleasure to others.

He that despiseth his neighbor sin-neth but he that hath mercy on the poor happy is he.

Happiness ... is achieved only by making others happy.

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others but it also becomes richer and happier.

Pleasure is a reciprocal no one feels it who does not at the same time give it. To be pleased one must please.

The entire sum of existence is the magic of being needed by just one person.

We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.

Be charitable and indulgent to every one but thyself.

I hate the giving of the hand unless the whole man accompanies it.

When you cease to make a contribution you begin to die.

The only gift is a portion of thyself.

Behold! I do not give lectures on a little charity. When I give I give myself.
