There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.

What we reason for ourselves may help others.

What we reason for others will not help us.

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

The worst thing you can do for those you love is the things they could and should do themselves.

It is true that when we harm others, we harm ourselves; but it is just as true that when we help others, we also help ourselves.

Think about it: what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow men. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone.

The trick is to help others without believing yourself to be, or acting like you are, their savior.

If we fail to look after others when they need help, who will look after us?

Every time we have opportunity and fail to live up to that truth which is within us, every time we fail to express a good thought, every time we fail to perform a good act, we weaken ourselves, and make it more difficult to express that thought or perform that act in the future. Every time we perform a good act, every time we express a noble feeling, we make it the more easy to perform that act or express that feeling another time.

Our only consolation, as we feel our strength failing us, is to feel that we may help those who come after us to do more and to do better than ourselves.

We can stop asking what others can do for us, and start asking what we can do for others.

Give your weakness to one who helps.
