Gerrit Cole Quotes

I'm just glad I can make a difference in someone's life.

Whatever I do, I want to impact people's lives in a positive way.

I do small things. I try to do good things every day.

People really want to do something good. You just have to show them where it is.

To do something for other people when they need it most just feels good.

I am a firm believer that you can make a difference in someone's life - whether they're thousands of miles away, or on your own block.

Do your little bit of good where you are; its those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

What I like to do is try to make a difference with the work I do.

I try to get that across in the work, to try to, if I'm lucky, to make this world a little bit better for all of us before I check out. And that's if I'm lucky, I don't always get to have that privilege but I try always.

I'm just an actor, but if the extra part of it is that I'm helping people or people are being helped by the virtue of what we're doing, then that's just a really nice added extra.

If I can help one person in this world, then it's enough, and I've done my job.

If everyone does some good, think of what a good world this will be.

Some people are filled by compassion and a desire to do good, and some simply don't think anything's going to make a difference.

I'm convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they're stones that don't matter. As long as you're breathing, it's never too late to do some good.

I was a young girl the first time I learned about the concept of paying it forward.

'Pay it forward' has become a hackneyed concept, but I truly believe in it, and it gives me huge satisfaction to be able to help writers in a measurable way.

I go where the good work is being done.

If they want to write about me in a good way, they should write how I do things that are useful.

I'm using my platform to help out a little bit, you know. It's only right.

At the end of the day, when you're trying to do good, that's all that matters. Whether it's in a different aspect than in the N.B.A. or N.F.L., you should use your platform for good.

I wanted to be a positive force in the world.

Every day we're here is an opportunity to do what we can to make the world right, to help someone close or far from us, to not get so hung up on what we can't do, and remember what we can.

You're part of the problem or the solution. Solution means, in my opinion, to be taking extra time and energy in trying to give back to the world.

All we can do is just think about what we can put into the world - not really kind of what we can get out of it.

We feel like if we can give back, that's what we are called to do. So we've been fortunate to do a lot of really cool things and touch a lot of people's lives.
