The most satisfactory thing in all this earthly life is to be able to serve our fellow-beings-first, those who are bound to us by ties of love, then the wider circle of fellow-townsmen, fellow-countrymen, or fellow-men. To be of service is a solid foundation for contentment in this world.
Charles William EliotLet us remember that the times which future generations delight to recall are not those of ease and prosperity, but those of adversity bravely borne.
