The greatest joy I know is to do a good action by stealth, and have it found by accident.
Charles Lamb

The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.
Hada Bejar

Do unto others even if they never ever do unto you.
Mary Ellen Edmunds

I knelt to pray when day was done
And prayed, 'O Lord, bless everyone.
Lift from each saddened heart the pain
And let the sick be well again;'

And then I woke another day
And carelessly went on my way.
The whole day long, I did not try
To wipe a tear from any eye;
I did not even go to see
The sick man just next door to me.

Yet once again when day was done,
I prayed, 'O Lord bless everyone.'
But as I prayed, into my ear
There came a voice that whispered clear.
'Pause now my son, before you pray,
Whom have you tried to bless today?'
God's sweetest blessings always go
By hands that serve Him here below.

And then I hid my face and cried,
'Forgive me God, I have not tried;
But let me live another day
And I will live the way I pray.'

I shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human
being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
Etienne de Grellet

The Lord will never send an angel when a Bishop will do.

To be true disciples of God and Jesus Christ, then , it becomes apparent that we must constantly do two things. First, we must
stand as a barrier against misery in all of its ugly forms, no matter where it is found; in other words, we must not send out ripples
of pain. And second, we must be a carrier of joy to all children of God everywhere, no matter who they are; in other words, the
ripples we send out must be for good.
