“A different world cannot be built by indifferent people.” -Horace Mann

“I believe that serving and being served are reciprocal and that one cannot really be one without the other.” -Robert Greenleaf

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” -Margaret Mead

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. – Albert Einstein

Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others. -Barbara Bush

But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. – Edward Everett Hale
