INSPIRATION

Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love. #<Author:0x0000558785976cf8>

SERVICE

We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself. #<Author:0x00005587859f1e30>

JOY

Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement—and we will make the goal. #<Author:0x00005587859cdd28>

ENCOURAGEMENT

The value of life is not based on how long we live, but how much we contribute to others in our society. #<Author:0x00005587859b1100>

DEVOTION

Walk beside me and be my friend. #<Author:0x0000558785a31990>

FRIENDSHIP

Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. #<Author:0x0000558785a0bdd0>

MOTIVATION

It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you. #<Author:0x0000558785a91cf0>
