CARING QUOTES

Excerpts from Caring Quotes: A Compendium of Caring Thought

Caring Quotes: A Compendium of Caring Thought is a one-of-a-kind historical collection of some of the most inspiring and profound thoughts ever recorded. A recent release from Caring Publishing, edited and compiled by Val J. Halamandaris and his brother, Bill Halamandaris, Caring Quotes is a must addition to any book collection. Caring Quotes is the product of a tireless quest for the great secrets of the universe-a gathering of some of the basic elements of wisdom reaching back to the beginnings of human history.

The central premise of this book is that caring is the greatest wisdom of all: it is the one-word distillation of the Golden Rule and the most powerful force in the universe. Caring is the seminal message that runs through all the great religions of the world. It unites the world's greatest leaders, teachers, writers, scientists, and philosophers, both secular and religious.

When Aristotle, the brightest mind of antiquity, was asked, "What is the purpose of life?" he said, "To serve others and to do good." This same answer had been given nine centuries earlier by the Hebrew leader, Moses. When the great Chinese philosopher Confucius was asked for the secret of human interaction, he replied that it was caring and compassion. "What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others," he said. Mohammed and Jesus responded in the same way. Jesus put his admonition in the form of a new commandment: "Love one another as I have loved you."
