Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you. That's what we consider true generosity: You give your all, and yet you always feel as if it costs you nothing. We are just asking a fraction of your kindness that will live even after you leave.
“The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
