ALTRUISM

She is such a good friend that she would throw all her acquaintances into the water for the pleasure of fishing them out again.
Charles Maurice De Talleyrand

That man is good who does good to others; if he suffers on account of the good he does, he is very good; if he suffers at the hands of those to whom he has done good, then his goodness is so great that it could be enhanced only by greater sufferings; and if he should die at their hands, his virtue can go no further: it is heroic, it is perfect.
Jean De La BruyFre
