Thoughts on Volunteering
“Without community service, we would not have a strong quality
of life. It’s important to the person who serves as well as the recipient. It’s
the way in which we ourselves grow and develop…”
- Dr. Dorothy I. Height
“When one helps another, both are strong.”
- German proverb
“Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every person has to
seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to realize his own true
worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. Even if it’s a little thing,
do something for those who have need of a man’s help, something for which you
get no pay but the privilege of doing it. For, remember, you don’t live in a
world all your own. Your brothers are here, too.”
- Albert Schweitzer
“It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no
one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The habit of giving only enhances the desire to give.”
- Walt Whitman
“I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community
and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.”
- George Bernard Shaw
“Some get and forget. Some give and forgive.”

“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we
give.”
- Winston Churchill
“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on
Earth.”
- Mohammed Ali
“If you try to find time for something that matters, you never
will. You must make the time.”
- Unknown
“If you ever need a helping hand, it is at the end of your arm.
As you get older you must remember you have a second hand. The first one is to
help yourself. The second hand is to help others.”
- Audrey Hepburn
“Past the beggar and the suffering walks he who asks, ‘Why, oh
God, do you not do something for these people?’ To which God replied, ‘I did do
something, I made you.’”
- old Sufi saying
“You have to become involved to make an impact. No one is
impressed with the win/loss record of the referee.”
- John Holcomb
“There are three kinds of people: those who make things happen,
those who watch things happen, and those who say, ‘What happened?’”
- Casey Stengel

nothing and hit it.”
- Rev. Eloise Page
“Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression.”
- Dodie Smith
“How wonderful that no one need wait a single moment to improve
the world.”
- Anne Frank

people.”
- Aristotle

down.”
- Nelson Rockefeller

what we receive and the larger kind we feel for what we give.”
- Edward Arlington Robinson
