Week One

"If by one word you can help another, A struggling and despairing brother, or ease one bed of pain; If you but aid some sad one weeping Or comfort one alone vigil keeping, You have not lived in vain."
~ Author Unknown

Week Two

"Never return a kindness--pass it on."
~ Author Unknown

Week Three

~ It costs nothing, but creates much.
~ It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give.
~ It happens in a flash, and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
~ None are so rich that they can get along without it, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.
~ It creates happiness in the home, and is the countersign of friends.
~ It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad and nature's best antidote for trouble.
~ Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, for it is of no earthly good to anybody until it is given away.
~ Nobody needs to smile so much as those who have none left to give. Smile. Smile. Smile.
~ Dale Carnegie
