Helping Quotes

if something comes to life in others because of you, then you have made an approach to immortality.

To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by

or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
