Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.

Edmund Burke

Where is this heaven? You have not even the power to see one grain of sand here. Can you see this earth of ours? The earth appears to us to be stationary, and the sun seems to go round us; but if we could get away from our earth, and look down from the sun upon it, we should see that it is moving round the sun in a circle, and that the sun is standing still. So it is with our conceptions of heaven and hell; they are not real, but only human conceptions.

The only thing of importance when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind.

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life.

Your purpose is not confined to one path; it is a calling that can be expressed in various ways throughout your lifetime.
