“Small minds select narrow roads; expand your mental vision and take to the broad road of helpfulness, compassion and service.”-- Satya Sai Baba, “Hungry for love, He looks at you. Thirsty for kindness, He begs of you. Naked for loyalty, He hopes in you. Homeless for shelter in your heart, He asks of you. Will you be that one to Him?”-- Jesus, “Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” –- Lord Budha, "Keep yourselves far from envy; because it eats up and takes away good actions, like a fire eats up and burns wood." –- Islamic Quotes.
