What is a favorite quote?
You must give some time to your fellow man. Even if it’s a little thing, do something for those who have need of 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
