INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES |
Why not give your volunteers an inspiring quote, in a frame? Example Quotes A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving. This is our special duty, that if anyone specially needs our help, we should give him such help to the utmost of our power. Service is the rent you pay for room on this earth.

You have not done enough you have never done enough, so long as it is still possible that you have something to contribute. Life is mostly froth and bubble. Two things stand like stone, kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own. To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it. Wisdom is the power that enables us to use knowledge for the benefit of ourselves and others. If my hands are fully occupied in holding onto something, I can neither give nor receive. We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse. Some people strengthen the society just by being the kind of people they are. When people care for you they can straighten out your soul. Some people come into our lives, make footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever. Do your work with your whole heart and you will succeed; there
is so little competition! (Back to Thanking Volunteers) |
