"When it comes to doing for others, some people will stop at nothing."
Lines by Poet Emily Dickinson:

"If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain.
If I can cease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain."

 LIFT, SUSTAIN OTHERS

        "There isn't a bishop here who isn't aware of the fact that there are so very many people with problems and our job is to help them.  That's why we're here.  There's no other reason for our being here when all is said and done.  We have to lift and sustain and strengthen people.  The Lord's going to hold us accountable for what we do. "

Gordon B. Hinckley

“You never can tell
when you do an act
just what the result will be;
for with every deed,
you are sowing a seed ~
though its harvest
you may never see.”

        "We lose our life by serving and lifting others.  By so doing we experience that only true and lasting happiness.  Service is not something we endure on this earth so we can earn the right to live in the celestial kingdom.  Service is the very fiber of which an exalted life in the celestial kingdom is made."

Marion G. Romney (November 1982 Ensign)

        "I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.  Knowing is not enough; we must apply.  Being willing is not enough; we must do."

        "Those who labor unselfishly in behalf of others, with no thought of remuneration, will be physically and spiritually refreshed and renewed. "

        "We must remember that those mortals we meet in the parking lots, offices, elevators, and elsewhere are that portion of mankind God has given us to love and to serve.  It will do us little good to speak of the general brotherhood of mankind if we cannot regard those who are all around us as our brothers and sisters."

Spencer W. Kimball  (August 1979 Ensign, page 5)
