The help we get from books is incalculable.
Yet the truest and best help any one can give to others is not in material things, but in ways that make them stronger and better.

Money is good alms when money is really needed, but in comparison with the divine gifts of hope, friendship, courage, sympathy, and love, it is paltry and poor.

Usually the help people need is not so much the lightening of their burden, as fresh strength to enable them to bear their burden, and stand up under it.

The best thing we can do for another, some one has said, is not to make some things easy for him, but to make something of him.
It is just here that friendship makes most of its mistakes.

It over-helps.
