He got his wife to take him home rather than the hospital, and I took his bike to my house. He's better today.

The first question which the priest asked
was: "If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?" The
good Samaritan reversed the question: "If I do not stop to help this
man, what will happen to him?" ~Martin Luther King

"Every action in our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. " ~Edwin Hubbel Chapin

Expect to pass through life but once. If there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. ~William Penn

Great story and great quotes. You can sum them up in one phrase: "Pay it forward" Just like the belief in Karma - the more good you do the more good comes back to you and the more bad you do the more bad comes back to you.
