Peace Pilgrim Helping Others Quotations

Were I to solve problems for others they would remain stagnant; they would never grow. It would be a great injustice to them. My approach is to help with cause rather than effect. When I help others, it is by instilling within them the inspiration to work out problems by themselves. If you feed a man a meal, you only feed him for a day-but if you teach a man to grow food, you feed him for a lifetime.

My mission is to help promote peace by helping others to find inner peace. If I can find it, you can too. Peace is an idea whose time has come.

The motive, if you are to find inner peace, must be an outgoing motive. Service, of course-service. Giving, not getting. Your motive must be good if your work is to have good effect. The secret of life is being of service.

If you feed a man a meal, you only feed him for a day-but if you teach a man to grow food, you feed him for a lifetime.
