Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.
- Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama
Life is not a having and a getting, but a being and a becoming.
- Matthew Arnold
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me:
I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
...
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 25:35-40
The only commandment that really matters
is universal kindness:
Be as kind as you can to everyone.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
