"We rise by lifting others."
-- Robert Ingersoll
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation
of my heart be acceptable to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer."
--Psalm 19:14
Gracious God,
Help us to become masters of ourselves so that we might be the servants of others.
Take our minds and think with them,
Take our lips and speak through them,
Take our hands and work with them,
And take our hearts and set them on fire with your Spirit.
--Rev. William Sloane Coffin
