I do not know our destinies, but one thing I know, the only ones among you who will be happy are those who have sought and found how to serve. - Albert Schweitzer

The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve

The only really happy people are those who have learned how to serve.

The only ones among us who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.

The restoration of our world-view can come only as a result of inexorably truth-loving and recklessly courageous thought. Such thinking alone is mature enough to learn by experience how the rational, when it thinks itself out to a conclusion, passes necessarily over into the non-rational. World- and life-affirmation and ethics are non-rational. They are not justified by any corresponding knowledge of the nature of the world, but are the disposition in which, through the inner compulsion of our will-to-live, we determine our relation to the world. What the activity of this disposition of ours means in the evolution of the world, we do not know. Nor can we regulate this activity from outside; we must leave entirely to each individual its shaping and its extension. From every point of view, then, world- and life-affirmation and ethics are non-rational, and we must have the courage to admit it.

Wherever you turn, you can find someone who needs you. Even if it is a little thing, do something for which there is no pay but the privilege of doing it. Remember, you don't live in a world all of your own.

In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.
