~ Volunteers are not paid -- not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless. ~
~ Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart. ~
~ Never doubt that a small group of commited people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. ~
~ A VOLUNTEER is a person who is a light to others, giving witness in a mixed-up age, doing well and willingly the tasks at hand-namely, being aware of another's needs and doing something about it. ~
~ The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others. ~
~ Volunteerism is the voice of the people put into action. These actions shape and mold the present into a future of which we can all be proud. ~
~ Volunteering creates a national character in which the community and the nation take on a spirit of compassion, comradeship and confidence. ~
~ If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else. ~
~ You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give. ~
~ Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in. ~
~ Don't ever question the value of volunteers. Noah's Ark was built by volunteers; the Titanic was built by professionals. ~
~ The Winds of change shall not discourage the volunteer. ~
