“Though my work may be menial,
though my contribution may be small,
I can perform it with dignity and offer it with unselfishness.
My talents may not be great,
but I can use them to bless the lives of others....
The goodness of the world in which we live is the accumulated goodness of many small
and seemingly inconsequential acts.”
~Gordon B. Hinckley
