Peter Drucker
We reserve our deepest respect and admiration for those who volunteer for service and give their lives to help keep our nation secure.
Mitt Romney
And in my own life, in my own small way, I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. Because I believe that each of us - no matter what our age or background or walk of life - each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation.
Michelle Obama
Love is not a volunteer thing.
Samuel Richardson
