Love America! But love her wisely. Work hard to cure her faults, the mistakes under which she labors. Work to bring her closer to the ideal that is the real America. Do not leave her to be ruled by a few who make it their business and profit to rule. She is yours.
The time is always right to do what is right.

Ideas for using quotes:
- Print out an inspirational quote so that it fill an entire 8 ½ X 11 piece of paper. Frame it, and hang it on the wall (preferably where both you and visitors can see it) or put it on your desk.
- Make a small copy of a quote for your wallet. When you're in line at the bank or at other random times, the sight of it will make you smile.
- Pass it along! If you've found a great quote, share it with your friends and co-workers. Send them an e-mail or an electronic card.
- Integrate it into your organization's products. You can have quotes on fax cover sheets, bookmarkers, buttons, newsletters, calendars, brochures, magnets, and more.
Is there a message on your desk or wall that inspires you to keep on going? Share it with fellow readers by posting the quote on the Volunteerism discussion board. Please also post any other techniques you used to keep you centered and motivated in your service environment.
