Selfless service is the pathway to true greatness. ~ Martin Uzochukwu Ugwu
Selfless quotes by Martin Uzochukwu Ugwu
Of course love is blind; it keeps me blind to myself. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Selfless quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
Thorne glared at him. "Whatever, Doctor. It's just, when Cress thought she was in love with me, she was actually in love with this other guy she'd made up in her head, who was brave and selfless and stuff. I mean, he was a real catch, so who could blame her? Even I liked that guy. I kind of wish I was that guy." He shrugged.
"Are you so sure you're not? ~ Marissa Meyer
Selfless quotes by Marissa Meyer
Love is blind, they say; sex is impervious to reason and mocks the power of all philosophers. But, in fact, a man's sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions. Tell me what a man finds sexually attractive and I will tell you his entire philosophy on life. Show me the woman he sleeps with and I will tell you his valuation of himself. No matter what corruption he's taught about the virtue of selflessness, sex is the most profoundly selfish of all acts, an act which he cannot perform for any motive but his own enjoyment–just try to think of performing it in a spirit of selfless charity!–an act which is not possible in self-abasement, only in self-exaltation, only in confidence of being desired and being worthy of desire. ~ Ayn Rand
Selfless quotes by Ayn Rand
This time, I sat next to a pixie girl called Takara, who had pinkish hair and wore a bright pink dress to match. She was the first forest-dweller I had seen wearing jewellery: she was wearing a necklace and bracelet of finely worked crystal beads. When she noticed my interest, she removed her bracelet and held it out to me.
"Sophiel, I would be so pleased if you would wear this!"
I was surprised by this kind and very selfless gesture; after all, I had not been admiring her jewels with any intention of asking her to part with them!
"You're very kind, Takara, but I was merely admiring your handiwork!" I said, trying politely to refuse her gift. "Mitsuko told me that you make your jewellery yourself. You're very talented, they're really lovely pieces, but I wouldn't want to take them away from you. It's you that makes these jewels really beautiful! ~ A.O. Esther
Selfless quotes by A.O. Esther
I thought it could be something, I mean, eventually." Harrison finally looks at us. "My life I thought-but I mean ... it's nothing."
"Don't cry" Grace says. "You have a lot of time."
"No, I don't."
"Yeah, you do."
"No.-"
"Yeah! Yeah, you do. It's okay. Look-"
She does something that is so amazingly selfless and also gross. She tilts Harrison's face up and gives him a sweet kiss on the lips and it lasts long enough for him to taste her back, to move his mouth against hers.
Harrison stares at her dumbfounded but he's stopped crying
She is so nice. ~ Courtney Summers
Selfless quotes by Courtney Summers
Heroism is not blind courage: it is selfless action. it is knowing the odds are stacked against you, but feeling that you must do what you do for the good of others. ~ John Baldoni
Selfless quotes by John Baldoni
She wondered if it counted as being good if you did the good thing for purely selfish reasons. Probably not, but who cared. What was important was what you did, not how you felt. ~ Emily Gould
Selfless quotes by Emily Gould
In this age of selfishness, selfless service is the only soap that truly purifies. ~ Mata Amritanandamayi
Selfless quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
My personal convictions drive me to join those like-minded, in the recruitment of a growing army without guns, no hatred or prejudice, but with a leadership voice of influence and harnessing resources to create the change they desire. The major problems facing the world, particularly our beloved African continent, will not be won by sanctions, cruelty, ethnic cleansing, revenge, guns or bullets. The challenges are not largely externally motivated, so the platform to change them must shift. Shift from selfish to selfless, from external to internal, from behaviours to beliefs. Some of them are externally sponsored but self-inflicted, whilst most of them are due to greed, short-sightedness, abuse and selfishness. ~ Archibald Marwizi
Selfless quotes by Archibald Marwizi
Kundalini is generated through cultivating humility, purity, through meditation, selfless giving, and by studying with an advanced teacher on a personal level. ~ Frederick Lenz
Selfless quotes by Frederick Lenz
We should be involved in quiet acts of selfless service. ~ Spencer W. Kimball
Selfless quotes by Spencer W. Kimball
The secret to enlightenment is kindness and selfless giving. Without that, it's just words, isn't it? ~ Frederick Lenz
Selfless quotes by Frederick Lenz
It was a kind love, a selfless love. I was an explorer and you were a traveller. We met at crossroads. I saw love in your smile and I recognized in for the first time in my life. But you had a plane to catch and I'm already home. ~ Lang Leav
Selfless quotes by Lang Leav
Worship is the submission of all of our nature to God. It is the quickening of the conscience by his holiness; the nourishment of mind with his truth; the purifying of imagination by his beauty; the opening of the heart to his love; the surrender of will to his purpose
all this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable. ~ William Temple
Selfless quotes by William Temple
God has no needs. Human love, as Plato teaches us, is the child of Poverty – of want or lack; it is caused by a real or supposed goal in its beloved which the lover needs and desires. But God's love, far from being caused by goodness in the object, causes all the goodness which the object has, loving it first into existence, and then into real, though derivative, lovability. God is Goodness. He can give good, but cannot need or get it. In that sense , His love is, as it were, bottomlessly selfless by very definition; it has everything to give, and nothing to receive. ~ C.S. Lewis
Selfless quotes by C.S. Lewis
We all have a grain of god in us. We do get opportunities to realize it, when moments in life demand selfless deeds of compassion from us. But we often squander them. ~ Ashok Kallarakkal
Selfless quotes by Ashok Kallarakkal
Selfless Giving is the key to happiness ~ Aman Mehndiratta
Selfless quotes by Aman Mehndiratta
Forgiveness is a selfless gift of love to others. ~ Joan Ambu
Selfless quotes by Joan Ambu
It is rare to find a business partner who is selfless. If you are lucky it happens once in a lifetime. ~ Michael Eisner
Selfless quotes by Michael Eisner
In the moment all is dear to me, dear that in this logic there is no redemption, the city itself being the highest form of madness and each and every part, organic or inorganic, an expression of this same madness. I feel absurdly and humbly great, not as megalomaniac, but as human spore, as the dead sponge of life swollen to saturation. I no longer look into the eyes of the woman I hold in my arms but I swim through, head and arms and legs, and I see that behind the sockets of the eyes there is a region unexplored, the world of futurity, and here there is no logic whatever, just the still germination of events unbroken by night and day, by yesterday and tomorrow. The eye, accustomed to concentration on points in space, now concentrates on points in time; the eye sees forward and backward at will. The eye which was the I of the self no longer exists; this selfless eye neither reveals nor illuminates. It travels along the line of the horizon, a ceaseless, uninformed voyager. Trying to retain the lost body I grew in logic as the city, a point digit in the anatomy of perfection. I grew beyond my own death, spiritually bright and hard. I was divided into endless yesterdays, endless tomorrows, resting only on the cusp of the event, a wall with many windows, but the house gone. I must shatter the walls and windows, the last shell of the lost body, if I am to rejoin the present. That is why I no longer look into the eyes or through the eyes, but by the legerdemain of will swim throug ~ Henry Miller
Selfless quotes by Henry Miller
MY FATHER
If I have to write a poem about my father
it has to be about integrity
and kindness -
the selfless kind of kindness
that is so very rare
I am sure there will be many people
living somewhere who must be as kind as him
but what I mean to say is
I have not met one yet

and when it comes to helping others
he always helps too much
and as the saying goes -
help someone, you earn a friend.
help someone too much,
you make an enemy. -
so you know the gist of what
I'm trying to say here

anyways I was talking about the
poem about my father
it has to be about
passion
and hard work
because you see
you cannot separate these
things from him
they are part of him as his two eyes and
two hands and his heart and his soul
and his whole being
and you cannot separate
wind and waves
or living and the universe
or earth and heavens
and although he never got any
award from bureaucracy
the students he taught ages ago
still touch his feet and some
of them are the people
you have to make
an appointment to meet even if
it is for two minutes of their time
and that's a reward for him
bigger than any other that
some of his colleagues got
for their flattery

and also I have to write about
reliability as well
because you see < ~ Neena H Brar
Selfless quotes by Neena H Brar
Generous people aren't selfless. Their kind hearts know how to balance between giving and taking. They know that they can't take without giving and without giving back.
A generous soul can see the whole picture, the more significant aspects of life, and the true nature of being a human.
Generosity is an action loved by God and people. ~ Noora Ahmed Alsuwaidi
Selfless quotes by Noora Ahmed Alsuwaidi
Selfish is an exploitation of others for self; selfless is an exploitation of self for others. Both are extrinsic. ... Selfness. When selfness prevails, the qualities of others are sometimes used for self and the qualities of self are often extended to others. The basic and key difference is that exploitation is never the object of the outcome. ~ Bob Samples
Selfless quotes by Bob Samples
It's not about working hard. It's about what we're working hard about. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Selfless quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
The profit orientation is only one orientation of a person. The same people who are interested in profit-making are also selfless. I am not saying that capitalist theory is wrong. I am saying that it has not been interpreted and practiced fully. ~ Muhammad Yunus
Selfless quotes by Muhammad Yunus
There were some things I needed to learn." "How to be brave?" my father says quietly. "How to be selfless," I say. "Often they're the same thing. ~ Veronica Roth
Selfless quotes by Veronica Roth
Whose meditation is real and effective? Who can really surrender to the will of God? Only the person whose mind has been purified by selfless work. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Selfless quotes by Swami Vivekananda
My dad has this beautiful spirit of being able to create no matter where he is. He's always been so selfless with our family. It's hard to put words to it. He's an incredible man. ~ Matt Lauria
Selfless quotes by Matt Lauria
I think that she is everything I have ever loved about our religion distilled down to fit into one person, everything about the faith that is both selfless and responsible. ~ Ann Patchett
Selfless quotes by Ann Patchett
You shouldn't live for yourself alone but you must also learn to live the Christian life ~ Sunday Adelaja
Selfless quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Peace is in selfless caring
Peace is in true understanding
Peace is in undeserved kindness
Peace is in joyful forgiveness
Peace is in innocent trust
Peace is in becoming just
Peace is in a dancing butterfly
Peace is in a clear starry sky
Peace is a child's loving kiss
Peace is a life's pure bliss ~ Debasish Mridha
Selfless quotes by Debasish Mridha
I'm always interested in working with people who are good team players - that are selfless that way in their interests and dedication to the project. ~ Diane Paulus
Selfless quotes by Diane Paulus
True greatness, true leadership, is achieved not by reducing men to one's service but in giving oneself in selfless service to them. ~ J. Oswald Sanders
Selfless quotes by J. Oswald Sanders
Most kids who don't feel enough love and nurturance carry around this kind of inner rage- a rage that often lasts throughout adulthood. The people who should have cared for them didn't. The lesson to take away: All people are shit. This is why troubled youth walk around with chips on their shoulders and why they are so hard to help.
Early on they learn that people can't be trusted. They often spend the rest of their lives embracing this damaging belief. Seeing the world through shit-coloured glasses, they are hypersensitive to every possible slight or judgement, and they believe anyone friendly or kind must have an ulterior motive.
Despite all this, wounded people desperately want and need love. But, terrified to trust, they constantly do thing to test and sabotage their relationships. This push-pull dance is well-known to anyone who's ever been close to a victim of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Those who suffer from BPD are hypersensitive to perceived slights from others and can grow notoriously hostile when they feel dissed....
For survivors of abuse, who you trust is a matter of survival. Its black and white. There can be no apologies. There can be no gray. There are no exceptions.-Scared Selfless ~ Michelle Stevens
Selfless quotes by Michelle Stevens
Yes, there is a type of love that never dies, that never grows old or weary. It is selfless and unconditional. It is the love of goodly parents. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Selfless quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Be selfish to see the person you love happy,
Be selfless to walk away, if they don't see you as their happiness. ~ Nitya Prakash
Selfless quotes by Nitya Prakash
When you take responsibility over others you have to be actually Selfless. ~ Radhanath Swami
Selfless quotes by Radhanath Swami
I've noticed most women tend to reject gifts when they think they're not worthy of them. In my experience with women, they've been pre-conditioned to be the nurturer and care-giver, and be selfless in the way they conduct themselves. How ridiculous. A woman should be treated like a woman. She should be cared for and cherished. But in the bedroom she should be taken, bent, and brought to her absolute limit before being fucked until she can barely move. ~ Sebastian Ex
Selfless quotes by Sebastian Ex
Selfless giving has a lot to do with what happens to you in the future. There is karma, both good and bad. ~ Frederick Lenz
Selfless quotes by Frederick Lenz
If your heart, mind, and actions are selfish, they will ultimately divide you, others, or entire [establishments]. When motivation is pure and selfless, it will result in helping bring others together. ~ A.J. Darkholme
Selfless quotes by A.J. Darkholme
The Christmas spirit will elude you
'til a selfless love consumes you
and the joy of giving moves you. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Selfless quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
You're neither unnatural, nor abominable, nor mad; you're as much a part of what people call nature as anyone else; only you're unexplained as yet
you've not got your niche in creation. But some day that will come, and meanwhile don't shrink from yourself, but face yourself calmly and bravely. Have courage; do the best you can with your burden. But above all be honourable. Cling to your honour for the sake of those others who share the same burden. For their sakes show the world that people like you and they can be quite as selfless and fine as the rest of mankind. Let your life go to prove this
it would be a really great life-work, Stephen. ~ Radclyffe Hall
Selfless quotes by Radclyffe Hall
Love is the selfless promotion of the growth of the other. ~ Milton Mayeroff
Selfless quotes by Milton Mayeroff
We forget that the sweetest joys are found in the simplest acts: hugs, laughter, quiet observation, basic movements, holding hands, pleasant music, shared stories, a listening ear, an unhurried visit, and selfless service. It is sad we forget a truth so elementary. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Selfless quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
"Heaven" refers to the realm that is the interior part of a human being, and that the "divine self" is none other than the selfless light existing in our innermost depths. ~ Masahisa Goi
Selfless quotes by Masahisa Goi
Our practice should be based on the ideal of selflessness. Selflessness is very difficult to understand. If you try to be selfless, that is already a selfish idea. Selflessness will be there when you do not try anything. ~ Shunryu Suzuki
Selfless quotes by Shunryu Suzuki
Thee Temple is a church of only LEADERS, no followers. A radical step. Even thee Nazis, though they bred an elite of leaders, still wanted to control thee masses, lead them and entangle themselves with them. We want thee leaders alone. Fuck thee sleeping masses. We have no desire to be superior rulers of boring, dull masses of people who we despise. We want JUST leaders. A church full of leaders, only leaders and not leading anyone. Merely co- habiting. A separate existence for OUR satisfaction. Why waste all that time, energy and vision dealing with boring masses of people. We've got better things to do. Enjoying and stimulating ourselves. A self-centered religion instead of a crippling, selfless Christian ideal. ~ Genesis P-Orridge
Selfless quotes by Genesis P-Orridge
Fine, I'll touch you, briefly, but only because you sound like you need the praise that your body's hot, and I'm totally selfless like that. ~ Kyle Adams
Selfless quotes by Kyle Adams
Hopefully as you get older you get more selfless. That would be probably a good goal. I don't know if we do, though. ~ John Cusack
Selfless quotes by John Cusack
Logan ran a hand through his hair as he tried to calm his racing heart. He wanted her on the most basic level that a man could want a woman, but it was so much more than that. It wasn't just about sex and the need to be inside her so badly it hurt - it was all the other stuff to. The need to matter. The need to be selfless.
The need to love. ~ Juliana Stone
Selfless quotes by Juliana Stone
Although I'm seldom aware enough to see it, the greater cost regarding that which I possess was not what I paid for it, but what someone along the way sacrificed so that I might have the opportunity to pay for it. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Selfless quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
There is no such thing as selflessness. There are only fair and unfair selfishness. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Selfless quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
An editor has to be selfless, and yet has also to be strong-minded. ~ Robert Gottlieb
Selfless quotes by Robert Gottlieb
My stand is clear; produce to distribute, feed before you eat, give before you take, think of others before you think of yourself. Only a selfless society based on sharing can be stable and happy. This is the only practical solution. If you do not want it, then - fight. ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Selfless quotes by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Selfless love is the elevator that leads you up the great heights of sacrifice to prove your depth of sincerity. ~ Shubha Vilas
Selfless quotes by Shubha Vilas
But, unfortunately, sometimes that affirmation creates a sense that you deserve special treatment and recognition in areas where you're not so talented. ~ Taylor Hackford
Selfless quotes by Taylor Hackford
[Margaret] went to a talk on parenting at the end of the school year where the speaker had said that doing good things, charitable things, was actually a selfish act, because it made you feel good. She has been mulling that ever since. Should she do something selfless, something good? Should she reach out to someone who really needs her forgiveness? Would this make her feel better? ~ Janice Y.K. Lee
Selfless quotes by Janice Y.K. Lee
Why were there no words that spoke positively about being concerned about the self? Why was there only negative connotation in terms like "selfish", "self-interested", "self-centred", "self-obsessed" and so on? Why was it so much better to be without a self: "selfless", "self-sacrificing", "self-effacing", etc? ~ A.J. Dalton
Selfless quotes by A.J. Dalton
To love in any way is to be like a child - it means to be vulnerable, to be wide-eyed, to be selfless. There is no such thing as free love; love is the most
costly expression in the world. To love romantically is to give of
oneself fully and completely, a merging and meshing of souls so
that the twain become a unity. It is to allow the sense of wonder
to fully enrapture. ~ Ted Dekker
Selfless quotes by Ted Dekker
I have never seen an Amity religious ceremony before. I am only familiar with the religion of my parents' faction, which part of me still holds to and the other rejects as foolishness - the prayers before dinner, the weekly meetings, the acts of service, the poems about a selfless God. This is something different, something mysterious. ~ Veronica Roth
Selfless quotes by Veronica Roth
When it's about your life, it's time to be selfish. ~ Dee Dee Artner
Selfless quotes by Dee Dee Artner
Much of what we accomplish in the church is due to the selfless service of women. ~ Quentin L. Cook
Selfless quotes by Quentin L. Cook
Then I think about how you went out, and I think… you know, it doesn't balance out. One selfless deed, after all the shit you did? No. But that's your cross to bear, not mine. I don't believe in an afterlife or anything like that, but, well, I guess that's the mark you left. When we die, all that's left are the memories, the place we take in people's hearts. ~ Wildbow
Selfless quotes by Wildbow
We should be selfless in our practice as believers ~ Sunday Adelaja
Selfless quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Meditation without selfless giving is not enough. You may go into very high states of consciousness but the rough edges will still be there - there may be lots of selfish motives lurking within the self - that you don't see. ~ Frederick Lenz
Selfless quotes by Frederick Lenz
It's hard to get people to overcome the thought that they have to take care of themselves first. It's hard to get players to give in to the group and become selfless as opposed to selfish. ~ Isaiah Thomas
Selfless quotes by Isaiah Thomas
There's nothing noble or selfless about politicians and there never has been. Putting it charitably, Profiles in Courage is a compendium of Democratic mythology, ghostwritten for an ambitious young Massachusetts Senator who never did a thing for himself if he could pay to have it done by others. ~ L. Neil Smith
Selfless quotes by L. Neil Smith
HERE'S THE THING about motherhood. It exhausts you and thrills you. It kicks you in the butt, and the very next second makes you feel like a superstar. Most of all, it teaches you to be selfless. Let me rephrase that. It doesn't really teach you this. It creates a new selflessness within you, which grabs hold of your heart when you first take your child into your arms. In that profound moment of extraordinary love and discovery, your own needs and desires become secondary. Nothing is as important as the well-being of your beautiful child. You would sacrifice anything for her. Even your own life. You would do it in a heartbeat. God wouldn't need to ask twice. ~ Julianne MacLean
Selfless quotes by Julianne MacLean
When I give, I give myself ~ Walt Whitman
Selfless quotes by Walt Whitman
But no one leaves. - Let us set out once more on our native roads, burdened with my vice, that vice that since the age of reason has driven roots of suffering into my side - that towers to heaven, beats me, hurls me down, drags me on.

Ultimate innocence, final timidity. All's said. Carry no more my loathing and treacheries before the world.

Come on! Marching, burdens, the desert, boredom and anger.

Hire myself to whom? What beasts adore? What sacred images destroy? What hearts shall I break? What lie maintain? - Through what blood wade?

Better to keep away from justice. - A hard life, outright stupor, - with a dried-out fist to lift the coffin lid, lie down, and suffocate. No old age this way, no danger: terror is very un-French.

- Ah! I am so forsaken I will offer at any shrine impulses toward perfection.

Oh my self-denial, my marvelous Charity! my Selfless love! And still here below!

De Profundis Domine, what an ass I am! ~ Arthur Rimbaud
Selfless quotes by Arthur Rimbaud
True love is not:
A person's looks
A person's career or accomplishments
Longevity of a relationship
Children together
Memories made
Words spoken or declared
Chance meetings you feel are fate
Hobbies and interests shared
Or, Religious beliefs in common
True love is:
Seeing the potential in someone and helping them to rise and meet it. It is selfless. It doesn't care about being right or winning. It cares about you choosing right. It is your heart breaking when they go against the goodness in their nature and it is your heart rejoicing when he or she does something so generous and kind for others, that it inspires you to be even better. It is confidence that doesn't seek to possess, rather to set your soul free. ~ Shannon L. Alder
Selfless quotes by Shannon L. Alder
My son's the most precious thing to me; he's changed me from being selfish to selfless. ~ Ricardo Antonio Chavira
Selfless quotes by Ricardo Antonio Chavira
Love and friendship are the only selfless quantities in the cosmos ~ Aditya Bisht
Selfless quotes by Aditya Bisht
You occasionally hear it said that spiritual aspirants should drop everything and set off for the woods, or go to India and wander about on the slopes of the Himalayas. But only through daily contact with people--not trees or brooks or deer--can we train ourselves to be selfless in personal relationships. ~ Eknath Easwaran
Selfless quotes by Eknath Easwaran
Furi wasn't into BDSM but he did know how to give his lover that euphoric feeling of being taken over sexually. More people than would admit it craved that relaxed, worry-free moment in bed and just needed a selfless partner to give it to them. Furi ~ A.E. Via
Selfless quotes by A.E. Via
How much pain a person detains may be proportionate to the pain they spare others when they'd rather hurt than hurt another. ~ Donna Lynn Hope
Selfless quotes by Donna Lynn Hope
Their lovemaking was different from any Ryan had known, rich with desire for a perfect union, yet without lust, giving without taking, receiving without wanting. Tender, selfless, almost innocent, this was a sweet commemoration of all they had been to each other to this point in time, to this fulcrum of their lives, and it was a solemnization of a commitment to be two in one henceforth, to be as one, always one, one forever. ~ Dean Koontz
Selfless quotes by Dean Koontz
No one becomes pure and selfless overnight; it involves time and concentrated effort, coupled with tremendous patience and love. ~ Mata Amritanandamayi
Selfless quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
A fertile, open mind is like a sponge. Every individual, event and episode in one's life is a learning experience. It's up to you what you want to emulate; the good or the bad, as your personality is constantly evolving. The innocence of a baby, the selfless love of a pet dog, or a stray comment from a stranger - all these can have an everlasting effect and help to mould your character. It's these incidents and experiences, episodes and the people you meet along the way, that weave the tapestry of your life. ~ Pratima Kapur
Selfless quotes by Pratima Kapur
He [Spike] has already demonstrated a capacity to love, already demonstrated a capacity to be selfless, and, possibly most importantly, has demonstrated that he has a conscience. ~ Jim Ford
Selfless quotes by Jim Ford
Joy is often an outgrowth not simply of following our vocation in life, but of helping those in need and of loving one another. So joy is not a selfish thing to seek, but a selfless thing to find. ~ James Martin
Selfless quotes by James Martin
Firefighters are some of the most selfless public servants you will ever encounter. ~ Denis Leary
Selfless quotes by Denis Leary
I must not be selfless: develop a sense of self. A solidness that can't be attacked. ~ Sylvia Plath
Selfless quotes by Sylvia Plath
Summer is a period of luxurious growth. To be in harmony with the atmosphere of summer, awaken early in the morning and reach to the sun for nourishment to flourish as the gardens do. Work, play, travel, be joyful, and grow into selfless service. The bounty of the outside world enters and enlivens us. ~ Paul Pitchford
Selfless quotes by Paul Pitchford
One who rules assumes irrevocable responsibility for the ruled. You are a husbandman. This demands, at times, a selfless act of love which may only be amusing to those you rule. ~ Frank Herbert
Selfless quotes by Frank Herbert
Selfless acts are a source of profound meaning for your self and your life. ~ Ron Kaufman
Selfless quotes by Ron Kaufman
Could there be anyone
More positive, more selfless
More caring, more forgiving
More generous, more peace loving?
Who never doubts your intentions...
His presence convinces me
God is not invisible. ~ Balroop Singh
Selfless quotes by Balroop Singh
I still can't figure out if it's bravery or cowardice to take your own life. I can't figure out whether it's being selfish, or selfless. It is the ultimate act of letting go of oneself, or a cheap act of self-possession? People say a failed attempt is a cry for help. I guess that's true if the person meant it to be unsuccessful. But then, I guess most failed attempts aren't entirely sincere, because, let's face it, if you want to off yourself, there are plenty of ways to make sure it works. ~ Neal Shusterman
Selfless quotes by Neal Shusterman
Our ultimate purpose in life lies in selfless service to others. Selflessly giving of ourselves to our spouses, our children, our friends, our community, our employers and or our customers unlocks a treasure chest of priceless gifts for both the recipient and you. Let's go the extra mile, in all we do, this week and see what riches we can discover. ~Jason Versey ~ Jason Versey
Selfless quotes by Jason Versey
The true test of a father's legacy is that it rests in every life except his own, for to leave a true legacy we must divest ourselves of everything so that the investment in our families can be everything. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Selfless quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
Selfless giving is a guaranteed way to increase feelings of love. ~ Jude Bijou
Selfless quotes by Jude Bijou
In Dzokchen, compassion is much more than the virtue of loving kindness. Nor does the word compassion in the Dzokchen context denote its English etymological meaning, "suffering together" or "empathy," although both these meanings may be inferred. Essentially, compassion indicates an open and receptive mind responding spontaneously to the exigencies of an ever-changing field of vibration to sustain the optimal awareness that serves self-and-others' ultimate desire for liberation and well-being. The conventional meaning of compassion denotes the latter, active part of this definition, and, due to the accretions of Christian connotation, response is limited to specifically virtuous activity. "Responsiveness" defines the origin and cause of selfless activity that can encompass all manner of response. On this nondual Dzokchen path virtue is the effect, not the cause; the ultimate compassionate response is whatever action maximizes Knowledge - loving kindness is the automatic function of Awareness. ~ Keith Dowman
Selfless quotes by Keith Dowman
And how about the "Daily Odes to the Benefactor"? Who can read them without bowing his head reverently before the selfless labor of this Number of Numbers? Or the terrible blood-red beauty of the "Flowers of Judicial Verdicts"? Or the immortal tragedy, "Lat for Work"? Or the bedside book of "Stanzas on Sexual Hygiene"? ~ Yevgeny Zamyatin
Selfless quotes by Yevgeny Zamyatin
[He was disgusted] at the beasts who in callous cruelty had dragged down and maimed and destroyed the human dignity of this selfless man. Yet it was nothing new. It had been like this at some point in every civilization and on every continent. There were human jackals for every human disaster. ~ Pat Frank
Selfless quotes by Pat Frank
We must help young women immerse themselves in a selfless work, perhaps receiving little public praise or attention. Instead, they must feel the Lord's great love for them and their efforts through the influence of the Holy Ghost. ~ Neill F. Marriott
Selfless quotes by Neill F. Marriott
Christine and I haven't raised our children. A whole community of selfless Christians has contributed to helping them become faithful, competent adults. ~ Clayton Christensen
Selfless quotes by Clayton Christensen
When faith replaces doubt, when selfless service eliminates selfish striving, the power of God brings to pass His purposes. ~ Thomas S. Monson
Selfless quotes by Thomas S. Monson
The selfless love that we give to others, to the point of being willing to sacrifice our lives for them, is all the proof I need that human beings are not mere animals of self-interest. We carry within us a divine spark, and if we chose to recognize it, our lives have dignity, meaning, hope. ~ Dean Koontz
