Only a life lived for others is the life worthwhile.
Albert Einstein
If you make a sale, you can make a living. If you make an investment of time and good service in a customer, you can make a fortune.
Jim Rohn
We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.
Earl Nightingale
There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.
John Andrew Holmes
There is but one just use of power, and it is to serve people.
George Herbert Walker Bush
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to realize his own true worth.
Albert Schweitzer
A truly spiritual man's creed is not live and let live, but live and help live.
Roger Babson
Our country can not exist on the renunciation of the heroic souls of the past. Public service, from the action of the humblest voter to the most exalted office, can not be made a mere matter of hire and salary. The supporters of our institutions must be inspired by a more dominent motive than a conviction that their actions are going to be profitable. We can not lower our standards to what we think will pay, but we must raise them to what we think is right. It is only in that direction that we shall find true patriotism.
Calvin Coolidge
The best service we can do for the needy and the unfortunate is to help them in such manner that their self-respect, their ability to help themselves, shall not be injured but augmented.
Calvin Coolidge
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand.
Woodrow Wilson
It is not through selfishness or wastefulness or arrogance, but through self-denial, conservation, and service, that we shall build up the American spirit.
Calvin Coolidge
The successful person is one who is able to take his talents and invest them in the business of living in a manner that leads to the accomplishment of a full life of service.
Sol Roth
You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others - something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.
Albert Schweitzer
There are only four ways to create value (in a digital economy): information, entertainment, convenience, and savings.
Jay Walker
There's no great mystery to satisfying your customers. Build them a quality product and treat them with respect. It's that simple.
Lee Iacocca
Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don´t have to have a college degree to serve. You don´t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
How you make it in this world, for the most part, depends more on what you do as opposed to whether people like or dislike you. In order to produce a successful life, one must find ways to please his fellow man. That is, find out what goods and services his fellow man values, and is willing to pay for, and then acquire the necessary skills and education to provide it.
Walter E. Williams
The noblest question in the world is, "What good may I do in it?"
Benjamin Franklin
Doing good to men is the only service of God in our power; and to imitate his beneficence is to glorify him.
Benjamin Franklin
Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi
You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.
Zig Ziglar
Discover your uniqueness. Learn to exploit it in the service of others, and you are guaranteed success, happiness, and prosperity.
Larry Winget

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
Mother Teresa
No man is so poor as to have nothing worth giving: as well might the mountain streamlets say they have nothing to give the sea because they are not rivers. Give what you have. To someone it may be better than you dare to think.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
We all have something to give. So if you know how to read, find someone who can't. If you've got a hammer, find a nail. If you're not hungry, not lonely, not in trouble - seek out someone who is.
George Herbert Walker Bush
I hear people say: "Oh, if I were only rich, I would do great things to help people." But we can all be rich in love and generosity. Moreover, if we give with care, if we find out the exact wants of those who need our help most, we are giving our own loving interest and concern, which is worth more than all the money in the world.
Albert Schweitzer
I find life an exciting business - and most exciting when it is lived for others.
Helen Keller
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.
Arthur Ashe
The mass of men worry themselves into nameless graves while here and there a great unselfish soul forgets himself into immortality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To see all without looking; to hear all without listening; to be attentive without being servile; to anticipate without being presumptuous.
César Ritz
No person was ever honored for what they received. Honor has been the reward for what they gave.
Calvin Coolidge
You cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
John Wooden
Our most valuable possessions are those which can be shared without lessening: those which, when shared, multiply. Our least valuable possessions are those which, when divided, are diminished.
William Danforth

Organizations that refuse to accept poor performance at any level and that take the time to deal with every slip in service do well regardless of economic conditions. They thrive in spite of it all just because they expect, demand, and deliver excellence at every level.
Larry Winget

Every single person on the planet is rewarded for one thing and one thing only, and that is for serving other people. The more you serve others, the higher your reward.

Your rewards in life are in direct proportion to the service you provide.

God doesn't look at how much we do, but with how much love we do it.
Mother Teresa
For the most part, income is a result of one's productivity and the value that people place on that productivity.
Walter E. Williams
One of the wonderful things about free markets is that the path to greater wealth comes not from looting, plundering and enslaving one's fellow man, as it has throughout most of human history, but by serving and pleasing him.
Walter E. Williams
Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, "What's in it for me?"
Brian Tracy
The world does not pay men for that which they "know". It pays them for what they do, or induce others to do.
Napoleon Hill
There is but one dependable method of accumulating and legally holding riches, and that is by rendering useful service.
Napoleon Hill
Choose the life that is most useful, and habit will make it the most agreeable.
Francis Bacon
One thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
Happiness is a by-product of an effort to make someone else happy.
Gretta Palmer
Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
One act of beneficence, one act of real usefulness, is worth all the abstract sentiment in the world. Sentiment is a disgrace, instead of an ornament, unless it lead us to good actions.
Ann Radcliffe
No man who continues to add something to the material, intellectual, and moral well-being of the place in which he lives is left long without proper reward.
Booker Washington
If things are not going well with you, begin your effort at correcting the situation by carefully examining the service you are rendering, and especially the spirit in which you are rendering it.
Roger Babson
The more one forgets himself - by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love - the more human he is and the more he actualizes himself. What is called self-actualization is not an attainable aim at all, for the simple reason that the more one would strive for it, the more he would miss it. In other words, self-actualization is possible only as a side-effect of self-transcendence.
Viktor Frankl
The only people who make money work in a mint. The rest of us must 'earn' money. This is what causes those who keep looking for something for nothing or a free ride to fail in life. The only way to earn money is by providing people with services or products which are needed and useful.
Earl Nightingale
Success is not the result of making money. Making money is the result of success. And success is in direct proportion to our service.
Earl Nightingale
Being passionate about something is the key to success. But using that passion to help others is the key to happiness.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Whether or not we belong to a church or service organization or have a job that provides meaningful service opportunities, not a day goes by that we can't at least serve one other human being by making deposits of unconditional love.
Stephen Covey

The only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.
Og Mandino
You have to be before you can do, and you have to do before you can have.
Zig Ziglar
It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The simplest and shortest ethical precept is to be served by others as little as possible and to serve others as much as possible.
Leo Tolstoy
Learn and grow all you can; serve and befriend all you can; enrich and inspire all you can.
William Arthur Ward
Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us daily.
Sally Koch
Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly if they even roll a few more upon it.
Albert Schweitzer
As long as you do what's proper to your nature, and accept what the world's nature has in store - as long as you work for others' good, by any and all means - what is there that can harm you?
Marcus Aurelius

The safest way to try to get what you want is to try to deserve what you want. It's such a simple idea. It's the golden rule. You want to deliver to the world what you would buy if you were on the other end.
Charlie Munger
Someone graduating from college thinks, and is told, that he needs to get a job, as if the important thing were becoming a member of an institution. A more direct way to put it would be: you need to start doing something people want. You don't need to join a company to do that. All a company is is a group of people working together to do something people want. It's doing something people want that matters, not joining the group.
Paul Graham
