Consider it: every person you have ever met, every person will suffer the loss of his friends and family. All are going to lose everything they love in this world. Why would one want to be anything but kind to them in the meantime?
If you’re feeling helpless, help someone.
Some people care too much. I think it’s called love.
A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.
My pain may be the reason for somebody’s laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody’s pain.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
Above all, try always to be able to feel deeply any injustice committed against any person in any part of the world. It is the most beautiful quality of a revolutionary.
Leave people better than you found them.
Even small acts of kindness can make a profound difference to somebody else.
Empathy and social skills are social intelligence, the interpersonal part of emotional intelligence. That’s why they look alike.
The only time you should look down at someone, is when you are helping them up.
The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.
Why can’t we all just get along?
We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.
Stand for people. Not a product or service or metric or number. If we stand for real, living, breathing people, we will change the world.
The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own. Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.
A leader, first and foremost, is human. Only when we have the strength to show our vulnerability can we truly lead.
Take care of yourselves, and each other.
We are all woven together in the great web of humanity, and whatever we can do to benefit and uplift others will reflect in blessing upon ourselves.
Realize that you are not alone, that we are in this together and most importantly that there is hope.
