Assistance Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough
““We labor not to accomplish some task, for that is far too simple. We labor so that a child is a bit safer, a hunger satisfied, a house warmed, poverty brought to its knees, a dream brought to reality, a wound healed, a need met in whatever way that need is met. We labor to leave those for whom we have labored enriched in ways that could not have been possible were it not for our labor. Therefore, we would be wise to remember that it is in the sweat of our labors that we have the privilege of leaving the imprint of our legacies.””
