We make a living
by
what we get,
but we make a life
by what we give.

Service is the rent we pay for living. It is the very purpose of life and not something to do in your spare time -- Marian Wright Edelman

Our ways of handling power differences and diverse points of view and cultures should be models of the civic life we wish to engender in our communities. Encouraging the articulation of differences, and then finding areas of collaboration, should be the norm rather than the exception -- Z.F. Gamson, Civic Responsibility and Higher Education,  2000.
