Volunteers: The Heart of Journeys
Volunteerism is the voice of the people put into action. Helen Dyer
To serve, you only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, smile, kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Leo Buscaglia
It is in giving that we receive. St. Francis of Assisi
A volunteer is a person who is a light to others, giving witness in a mixed-up age, and doing well and willingly the tasks at hand – namely, being aware of another’s needs and doing something about it. Booker T. Washington
The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons. Aristotle
Things won are done; the soul’s joy lies in the doing. Shakespeare
