“The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.”

“Whether naïve on my part or not, it seemed worth taking the time to try to convince others that their lives possessed beauty and meaning worth preserving and honoring.”

“Was it not the most wonderful thing on earth to be able to help one's fellow-creatures? I now knew that it was the only thing that was worth while.”

“I believe in one thing—that only a life lived for others is a life worth living.”

“There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for.”

“What is the worth of any thing,
But for the happiness 'twill bring?”

“(…)while it's true that the unexamined life is not worth living, it's also true that the unlived life isn't worth examining.”

“A man spends his whole life trying to prove his worth to others. A woman spends her life trying to prove her worth to herself.”

“The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living.”

“Whoever criticizes others must have something to replace them. Criticism without suggestion is like trying to stop flood with flood and put out fire with fire. It will surely be without worth.”
