"To desire and strive to be of some service

to the world, to aim at doing something

which shall really increase the happiness

and welfare and virtue of mankind -

this is a choice which is possible for all of us;

and surely it is a good haven to sail for"

Henry Van Dyke

"Use what talents you possess;

the woods would be very silent

if no birds sang there

except those that sang best"
