Dalai Lama Quotes

If we don't help each other, who will?

Any society begins by realizing that together, by helping each other, you can survive better than if you fight each other and compete with each other.

Neither refuse to give help when it is needed,... nor refuse to accept it when it is offered.

It Takes A Village

People must help one another. It is nature's law.

Society is the body; individuals are its members, its limbs. Just as the various limbs help and co-operate with one another and thus are happy, so each must unite with others in being helpful to all in thought, speech and action... One may see to the good of one's own group, i.e., the group that is immediate to him, and then proceed to others.

People will help each other because there is a sense of camaraderie that springs up, which is a survival tactic. You help them because you know you might need their help later. And that is incredibly reassuring.

All men are in need of help and depend on one another. Human solidarity is the necessary condition for the unfolding of any one individual.

Mankind — the race would perish did they cease to aid each other.

We need each other to do things that we can't do for ourselves. If we are intimately connected with each other, we just give things to each other; if we don't know each other we find another way to handle it. If you think about it, each according to his or her abilities and each according to his or her needs is sort of the same thing as supply and demand.

We tried so hard. We were always trying to help each other. But not because we were helpless. He needed to get things for me, just as I needed to get things for him. It gave us purpose. Sometimes I would ask him for something that I did not even want, just to let him get it for me. We spent our days trying to help each other help each other. I would get his slippers. He would make my tea. I would turn up the heat so he could turn up the air conditioner so I could turn up the heat.

Live and let live is not enough; live and help live is not too much.
