“Our happiness is the happiness of others. The misfortune of others is our misfortune. To see ourselves in others and feel an inner sense of unity with them represents a fundamental revolution in the way we view and live our lives. Therefore, discriminating against another person is the same as discriminating against ourselves. When we hurt another, we are hurting ourselves. And when we respect others, we respect and elevate our own lives as well.”

- Philosopher Daisaku Ikeda

“Do not worry in the least about yourself, leave all worry to God,” – this appears to be the commandment in all religions. This need not frighten people. They who devote themselves to service with a clear conscience, will day by day grasp the necessity for it in greater measure, and will continually grow richer in faith. The path of service can hardly be trodden by those who are not prepared to renounce their self-interests, and who cannot recognize the conditions of their birth. Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make not only for our own happiness but that of the world at large.”

- Mahatma Ghandi

“If you have a touchstone, go ahead, choose; otherwise, go and devote yourself to one who knows the differences. Either you must have a touchstone within your own soul, or if you don’t know the way, find someone who does.”

- Rumi
