"There are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give."
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
"...the opposite of love is not hate -- it's apathy. It's not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must "feel"something ... or they couldn't possibly hate. Therefore, there's some way in which I can get to them."
"Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose."
"The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises."
"Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other."
