Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. -- Howard Thurman
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it. — Margaret Fuller
If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. -- Mother Teresa
Only the curious have something to find. - Nickel Creek, "This Side" lyrics

*Christian Mystics: 365 Readings and Meditations, Matthew Fox
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, silly. But I would say that humans are essentially nothing, because they are a reflection of the essence of everything.
See also Fred Nietzsche, "The Genealogy of Morality" for a summary of his analysis of good/bad vs. good/evil. In FN's expansion on Aristotle's theme, good/bad is the morality of the powerful, and good/evil is the morality of the powerless. The church leveraged that dichotomy over a thousand years to invert the original power scheme!
