"There is something to be said about giving of yourself to your fellow man and community.  The rewards may not be in material or verbal form , but the sense of accomplishment and comaraderie can be felt but not be measured.  To have what you’ve never had, you must do what you never done, because the only difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather than a lack of will."
