The fruit of service is peace,
And peace begins with a smile. Mother Teresa
Without your wounds where would your power be? The very angels themselves cannot persuade the wretched and blundering children on earth as can one human being broken in the wheels of living. In love's service, only the wounded soldiers can serve. Thorton Wilder
The highest of distinctions is service to others. King George VI
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to
improve the world. Anne Frank
We are here on Earth to do good to others. What the others are here for, I don't know. W. H. Auden

ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite service quote was discovered while we were building the orphanage in Mexico and sometimes volunteers... usually high school kids, seemed like they had come for a vacation and wanted to avoid work if at all posible.
"We are here to do good to others. If you are here for any other reason, you are in the wrong place."
