It's easy to make a buck. It's a lot tougher to make a difference.

The REAL American Dream is not about a garage full of new cars, winning the lottery, or retiring to a life of ease in Florida. It's about doing work that has meaning, work that makes a difference, and doing that work with people you care about.

Unless you walk out into the unknown, the odds of making a profound difference are pretty low.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

Being good is commendable, but only when it is combined with doing good is it useful.

Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something.

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.

Never be afraid to do something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark; professionals built the titanic.

We must overcome the notion that we must be regular... it robs you of the chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre.

We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.

Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
