  1. “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 and sisters are here too.” – Albert Schweitzer
  2. “I wondered why somebody didn’t do something. Then I realized, I am somebody.” – Author Unknown
