“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.”

“Instead of answering your question directly I shall quote from the Indian poet Tagore: “I slept and dreamt that life was joy/ I awoke and saw that life was service/I acted and behold, service was joy.” In fact, through my work I discover life, people, and everything which happens around us.”

“I slept and dreamed that life was beauty. I awoke - and found that life was duty.”

“I know that we came to this life with a purpose and that the greatest joy we will receive will be those acts of love and service that we do for others.....There is none too great to need the help of others. There is none so great that he can "do it alone.”

“Slept, awoke, slept, awoke, miserable life.”

“Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.”
