Helpful Quote

Here are quotations I found on the web about ‘Help’

Have a nice day :D

***********************************************************************

The smallest good deed is better than the grandest good intention.

Let everyone sweep in front of his own door and the whole world will be clean.

We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully and yell for help if you need it.

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they’re supposed to help you discover who you are.

Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm.

You measure a government by how few people need help.

Tell everyone what you want to do and someone will want to help you do it.

Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.

There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.

There is hunger for ordinary bread, and there is hunger for love, for kindness, for thoughtfulness, and this is the great poverty that makes people suffer so much.

Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.

Our friends should be companions who inspire us, who help us rise to our best.

Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping him up.

If you would lift me up you must be on higher ground.

Self-help must precede help from others. Even for making certain of help from heaven, one has to help oneself.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.

Everybody wants to do something to help, but nobody wants to be first.

Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours.

If you haven’t any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.

If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.

If a friend is in trouble, don’t annoy him by asking him if there’s anything you can do. Think of something appropriate and do it.

Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others.

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

Happiness comes to those who are moving toward something they want very much to happen. And it almost always involves making someone else happy.

It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.

We’re here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark.

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Power is the ability to do good things for others.

I discovered a long time ago that if I helped people get what they wanted, I would always get what I wanted and I would never have to worry.

Happiness is a by-product of an effort to make someone else happy.

Help people become more motivated by guiding them to the source of their own power.

Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another’s pain, life is not in vain.

Be charitable before wealth makes thee covetous.

As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it.

A kind and compassionate act is often its own reward.

Believe that life IS worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it.

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams.

We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.

Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, “What’s in it for me?”

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.

The duty of helping one’s self in the highest sense involves the helping of one’s neighbors.

It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

Our job is not to straighten each other out, But to help each other up.

The most effective way to achieve right relations with any living thing is to look for the best in it, and then help that best into the fullest expression.

Help yourself, and Heaven will help you.

We can help others in the world more by making the most of yourself than in any other way.

When a person is down in the world, an ounce of help is better than a pound of preaching.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no help at all.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

The best helping hand that you will ever receive is the one at the end of your own arm.

No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle and good, without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness.

In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us.

The realization that we are all basically the same human beings who seek happiness and try to avoid suffering is very helpful in developing a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood; a warm feeling of love and compassion for others.

Light is the task when many share the toil.

Something that has always puzzled me all my life is why, when I am in special need of help, the good deed is usually done by somebody on whom I have no claim.

God helps those who help themselves.

Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning. If we don’t, it may drench itself out in sorrow.

One who civilly shows the way to one who has missed it, is as one who has lighted another’s lamp from his own lamp; it none the less gives light to himself when it burns for the other.

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.

It is not so much our friends’ help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they will help us.

Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.

After the verb “to Love” … “To Help” is the most beautiful verb in the world.

Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day.

Use power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.

An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous.

Little deeds of kindness, little words of love, help to make earth happy like the heaven above.

A good excercise for the heart is to bend down and help another up.

We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help when in need.

Help a man against his will and you do the same as murder him.

It is not helpful to help a friend by putting coins in his pockets when he has got holes in his pockets.

Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help lift him up.

The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.

Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.

I liked this because it added some contrast and depth:

“The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.”

It is supposedly by Buddha.

The copy/pasting/deleting took maybe an hour or two (there were actually many more quotes; a huge amount of redundancy and potentially offensive -isms and -ologies and religions)

…and this was the only post I made quite like this, but one other time I quoted part of the FAQ on this site with similar intent to draw helpful knowledge about ‘help’ or ‘help.com’ out into public — it’s sometimes difficult to find ways out of the mazes of problems and solutions, this type of thing is just, “here’s part of the point, the basics.”

Micheal that is aww inspiring - you started it, put it in actin - start a chain email - ask others to add to it. Mastering the art of help is reminding yourself of the good that has come before, is in action now and what becomes are the endless possibilities of human exploration.

Some of my own that I would like you to add if you start it as a chain email.

Tomorrow is what you make it - make it ours, not yours.

A grain of sand can change the world.

Without your mother you would have no brother, sister or spouse.

A Helping hand leaves a footprint in the sand.

We are all neighbours and our children share the same playground.

Try and get this going on here. Edit it - Ask people to add helpful quotes themself.

thanks for the email - I read them all and I will continue to revisit this - added to my fave list.

God helps those who help themselves.

Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning. If we don’t, it may drench itself out in sorrow.

One who civilly shows the way to one who has missed it, is as one who has lighted another’s lamp from his own lamp; it none the less gives light to himself when it burns for the other.

We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help when in need.

Help a man against his will and you do the same as murder him.

It is not helpful to help a friend by putting coins in his pockets when he has got holes in his pockets.

Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help lift him up.

The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.

Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.
