"I can think of no other edifice..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw
I can think of no other edifice constructed by man as altruistic as a lighthouse. They were built only to serve.

More on Altruism
“When you engage in fulfilling the needs of others, your own needs are fulfilled as a by-product.”
“The best way of fulfilling your own interest is to take care of others.”
“For a bowl of water give a goodly meal; For a kindly greeting bow thou down with zeal; For a simple penny pay thou back with gold; If thy life be rescued, life do not withhold. Thus the words and actions of the wise regard; Every little service tenfold they reward. But the truly noble know all men as one, And return with gladness good for evil done.”

“You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”
“There are many people who have worked just because they love the community in which they are in, without expecting any financial consideration.”
“If you ever need a helping hand, it is at the end of your arm. As you get older you must remember you have a second hand. The first one is to help yourself. The second hand is to help others.”
