My grandmother had a motto that you should never look down on people unless you are helping them up, and I think that's a very spiritual way of living.

Karren Brady

My method of helping someone is saying, 'Wow, you look amazing. Let me help you look even better.' I think tearing someone down is an awful thing to do. It has a lasting impression on people.

Carson Kressley

Every time you help someone else, not only are you helping that person, but you are helping every person they touch, AND you are helping yourself - because we are all ONE.

Hal Elrod

But what really is immorality? And what does helping someone really mean? Helping them to be like everyone else, or helping them to be themselves?

Nancy Garden

Everyone is happier if they have someone else to look down on, as well as someone to look up to, especially if they resent both.

Christopher Moore

The only justification we have to look down on someone is because we are about to pick him up.

Jesse Jackson

Little girls need someone to look up to - and little boys need strong women to look up to, as well. I don't think your heroes should be relegated to someone who's the same sex or from the same background as you. Little boys should grow up wanting to be like Serena Williams.

Ser'Darius Blain

Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.

Jesse Jackson

When we put our keys down, we should be conscious of putting them down. When we pick them up, we should be conscious of picking them up. That's all there is to zen.

Philip Toshio Sudo

I'm not only passionate about dressing women and helping them feel and look their best, but also about helping to give a stronger voice to women and children in need around the world.

Rachel Roy

It’s interesting how God arranges your schedule. When you’re helping someone else, you never run out of time, when you’re just interested in helping yourself, time is real short.

Cathy Hughes

There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.

Bernard Meltzer

The craving for equality can express itself either as a desire to pull everyone down to our own level (by belittling them, excluding them, tripping them up) or as a desire to raise ourselves up along with everyone else (by acknowledging them, helping them, and rejoicing in their success).

Friedrich Nietzsche

How hard it is for people to live without someone to look down upon-really to look down upon. It is not just that they feel cheated out of someone to hate. It is that they are compelled to look more closely into themselves and what they don't like about themselves.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

You have to realize there is nothing more you can do to convince someone you love to turn their life around. You simply have to say, "Look. I love you, but I cannot stand by and watch you kill yourself slowly. When you want help I'm here. Until then, goodbye." That may sound cruel, but self-preservation is paramount to helping someone else. If you're a wreck, you're useless to them, anyway. And if they refuse help, despite knowing the likely outcome, they will head down that path anyway.

Ellen Hopkins

When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.

Sheryl Sandberg
