Humanity unceasingly strives forward from a lower, more partial and obscure understanding of life to one more general and more lucid.

Service to man is service to god.

The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life.

If we have chosen the position in life in which we can most of all work for mankind, no burdens can bow us down, because they are sacrifices for the benefit of all; then we shall experience no petty, limited, selfish joy, but our happiness will belong to millions, our deeds will live on quietly but perpetually at work, and over our ashes will be shed the hot tears of noble people.

They alone live, who live for others.

If you want love and abundance in your life, give it away.
