“My brother’s keeper” quotes are a collection of sayings and quotations that emphasize the importance of looking out for and helping others, especially those who are vulnerable or in need.
The phrase “my brother’s keeper” is often attributed to the biblical story of Cain and Abel, in which Cain murders his brother out of jealousy. After the murder, God asks Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” and Cain famously responds, “I don’t know; am I my brother’s keeper?” (Genesis 4:9). This response has been interpreted as a denial of responsibility for one’s fellow human beings, and the phrase “my brother’s keeper” has come to represent the opposite sentiment: that we are all responsible for the well-being of others.
