3、e harvest nothing at all.I want the future to be better than the past. I dont want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled.

You may be crude and clumsy, wasteful and ineffective, but if you sincerely try to help, your attempt

8、 produces nothing but good. The one you are trying to help knows your intention and is strengthened and encouraged by the magic of your sharing. In nearly every case, your simple desire to help, converted into action, produce the good sought. But perhaps the greatest good is the good that you yourse

9、lf get out of the attempt. Service to others delivers more joy to you than the joy you deliver to them.
