Booker T. WashingtonThose who are happiest are those who do the most for others.
About This Quote
There are many who are content with themselves, who think they have nothing to offer the world. But one day they wake up and find that the best gift they could give is to give of themselves. They discover that happiness is not found in an empty shell, but in the happiness others give them.
