People are complicated creatures. On the one hand, capable of great acts of charity, and on the other, capable of the most underhanded forms of betrayal.

And sometimes, the only way to ward off the darkness is to shine the light of compassion. -- Mary Alice

Remember to set apart at least one hour every day to do some service for others. While the food we eat nurtures our bodies, it is what we give in charity that nurtures our souls.

We shrug at an act of achievement. -- Ayn Rand
