Thoughts on Volunteering
"Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?"
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away."
William Shakespeare
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
Leo Buscaglia
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
