Wayne Dyer Quotes

You can not have significance in this life if it is all about you. You get your significance, you find your joy in life through service and sacrifice - it's pure and simple.

If you really want to receive joy and happiness, then serve others with all your heart. Lift their burden, and your own burden will be lighter.

Have you known what it is to give your meal to another and to go without yourself? It gives a happiness that no dinner eaten by yourself can give. Have you known what it is to give your coat to another and do without it yourself? It gives a joy that the satisfaction of your own wants cannot give you.

Altruism is the best source of happiness. There is no doubt about that.

Once you make a lot of money, it's incredibly enjoyable to give it away. It's a way to satisfy the soul.

Nothing can give you greater joy than doing something for another.

I learned that real happiness doesn’t come from getting but from giving.

When a poor man gives something, that is a sacrifice indeed. When a rich man gives something, it hardly rises to the same level.

Remember, purpose is about giving...All you can do with your life is to give it away in the service of others.

You get most things in life not by taking, but by giving.

He who has never denied himself for the sake of giving has but glanced at the joys of charity.

The real joy in life comes from giving. It comes from service. It comes from doing things for other people. That is what is so powerful about this. Nothing will make you happier than giving.

We're all here to figure out how to best give ourselves away.

The value of a life is always measured by how much of it is given away.

One of the best lessons I learned early is that not everything in life is about you. It is about service. If you want trips and excessive gifts, then don't get into public service.

I love helping people; just being of service makes me happy!

Helping others isn't a chore; it is one of the greatest gifts there is.

I thought to myself, there's a man who gave up his life to serve others - to touch people in that way is probably the greatest thing you can do as a human being.

It's a great feeling knowing you've helped someone. That's what I've spent my life doing and my practice.

We tire of those pleasures we take, but never of those we give.

Life is not accumulation, it is about contribution.

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.

One thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.

Well, your greatest joy definitely comes from doing something for another, especially when it was done with no thought of something in return.

I don't want my life to just be about me.
