About This Quote
A life of service is a life well and greatly lived" is a common saying about the value of helping others. This belief, however, is often misused. Many believe that to be helpful, you must sacrifice your own needs and wants. That’s not true.
True giving is a selfless act that gives a positive impact on someone else’s life. A good example of this idea comes from Albert Schweitzer, a famous musician and humanitarian who gave his time and money to help the poor in Africa. He believed that if we took time to do good for others, it would lift us up as well as those around us.
He thought altruism would create a better world.
