Any person, brought into the presence of this fact, stops for a few moments and remains pensive and silent; and then generally leaves, carrying with him forever a sharper, keener sense of our incessant motion through space.

In many ways, we all have extraordinary circumstances thrust upon us in life, and it's up to us to do the best with them.

The true greatness of a person, in my view, is evident in the way he or she treats those with whom courtesy and kindness are not required.

We are surrounded every day by people who do thankless but important work.

We seldom find people ungrateful so long as it is thought we can serve them.

In order to move others deeply we must deliberately allow ourselves to be carried away beyond the bounds of our normal sensibility.

Deliberately seek opportunities for kindness, sympathy, and patience.

You feel touched and honored and alive when you give to someone.
