I have a few to share:
In necessary things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity -- Richard Baxter
Did universal charity prevail, earth would be a heaven, and hell a fable -- Charles Caleb Cotton
Help your brothers boat across, and your own will reach the shore -- Hindu Proverb
You don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers live here, too. -- Albert Scweitzer

We must be the change we wish to see in the world. Gandhi

Who needs Social Security when we've got homeless shelters and food shelves?
When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist. Dom Helder Camara
What makes homelessness hard is the inconvenience.
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Once again, we’ve wasted time and money by dealing with the homeless backward. Too much energy has gone into deciding where we do not want them to be, and making sure that they would not be there. Anna Quindlen
Compassion has eyes and ears to sense suffering, hands to relieve it, a heart to sooth it, and a voice to cry out against it—forcing the world to listen.
Life's big question is NOT %26quot;what is my purpose in life?%26quot; Excuse me, but who cares! Instead, tell me why is there so much pain and suffering in the world. If you really care about pain and suffering, you'll understand your purpose very well.
We will not know peace until all of the unprotected and unloved are encircled by strong, caring arms.
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi

%26quot;We make a living by what we get,
but we make a life by what we give.%26quot;

“We have a choice to use the gift of our lives to make the world a better place.”
Jane Goodall
%26quot;A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.%26quot;
Jackie Robinson
%26quot;Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.%26quot;
