I’m only one, but I’m at least one. I can’t do everything, but I can at least do something; And just because I can’t do everything, I won’t refuse to do what I can do. tho Edward Everett Hale (1822-1909)
St. Francis of Assisi said: ‘Whatever you receive separates you from others, whatever you donate will connect you to them.’ The essence of selflessness is generosity. It helps not only the unification of the team, but also its further progress. tho John C. Maxwell (Geb. 1947)
Human beings, who do not leave behind any revolutionary successes, but only a series of small favors, have not wasted their lives. tho Charlotte Gray
Most of us enjoy the attention we get on special occasions – such as birthdays. But what if someone surprises us with something nice completely unexpectedly just because they care about us? Doesn’t it bring a particularly intense and intoxicating feeling that we are truly loved? And why couldn’t we do the same? If you think about it for a moment, you might be surprised how many small but important things you can do for others without it costing you too much time and effort. Do you want better relationships in the family, with friends, with colleagues? Master the art of five-minute favors. tho Shannon Shaylor (Love’s Many Faces, Aurora Production, 2010))
Don’t think true love must be something extraordinary. We just must not slack off in our love. Be consistent in the little things because your strength lies in them. tho Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
It is one of the most beautiful consequences of our actions in this life – no one can sincerely help another person without helping himself. tho Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
During the day we have countless opportunities to be patient, kind and forgiving. Every day we have the opportunity to cultivate good thoughts, smile, accept others even with their shortcomings and be grateful. We can practice listening patiently. We can strive to be compassionate and understanding, especially towards people who can be obnoxious and rude. We can apply our spiritual beliefs in practically anything we do. tho Richard Carlson (1961-2006, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff at Work, New York: Hyperion, 1998)
When you look back on your life, you will know that the moments in which you really lived were those in which you acted in the spirit of love. tho Henry Drummond (1851-1897)
A generous person will do well. tho Proverbs 11:25
If our main goal in life is to show compassion and unconditional love, then this world can really turn into a garden in which flowers of all shapes and colors will grow and bloom. tho Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (1926-2004)
Good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and whom you helped will remember you long after forget-me-nots wither. Carve your name into people’s hearts, not marble. tho Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)
No kind act will go without consequences. One favor leads to another. A good example is followed. A simple act of love will take root, and new trees will grow from them. But the most brilliant thing is that if we show kindness to others, they will also become kind. tho Amelia Earhart (1897-1937)
