Quotes about leaving the world a better place
If you can't feed 1, people, then feed one. There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. During my long life, I have learned one lesson: that the most important thing is to realize why one is alive and I think it is not only to build bridges or tall buildings or make money, but to do something truly important, to do something for humanity.
To bring joy, hope, to make life richer for the spirit because you have been alive, that is the most important thing. Don't just dream about grandiose acts of doing good. Every day do small ones, that add up over time to positive patterns.
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. However much I am at the mercy of the world, I never let myself get lost by brooding over its misery. I hold firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of that misery to an end. In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Will you be the rock that redirects the course of the river?
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. To love what you do, and feel that it matters. How could anything else be more fun? Candles melt away as they are used. We often feel we are the same--burning up, burning out, burning down. What we must remember, though, is how we light the room of this world in the time allotted to us. I am only one, but I am still one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito. The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do. No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer. Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
Light tomorrow with today! A man with a new idea is a crank, until the idea succeeds. You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a fine spirit of hope of achievement.
You are here to enrich the world and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand. When someone tells you that you can't do something, perhaps you should consider that they are only telling you what they can't do. Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.
Rowling The question should be, is it worth trying to do, not can it be done. If you want to change the world, find someone to help you paddle. McRaven We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.
But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.

He was a pioneer in ending white minority rule and fostering post-apartheid reconciliation in the early s. Unlike his predecessors, Mandela stepped down at the conclusion of his term. Before becoming president, Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years.
He was jailed for standing up to the human rights abuses committed by the apartheid government against black South Africans. I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands. When Mandela was a child, it was customary for a South African student to be assigned an English name.
In school, he came to be known as Nelson. Many South Africans still refer to Mandela as Madiba as a sign of respect and endearment, paying tribute to his African roots. After his presidency, Mandela became a philanthropist with a special focus on education.

Facing challenges such as long distances and unsafe passage, rural students who walk to school are often late to class if they even make it at all. Students with bicycles have fewer absences, more time in class, and more time to study. With access to education, students can become what they aspire to be. Education improves the life of the individual, but it also greatly benefits the entire community, building a better future for all.
It really is the power of YOU. You have the power to make an impact!
