Well, I have been going to different forums today and stopped here too so, hello to all since this is my first time posting here.

So, my quotes:
"Never look down on someone unless you're helping them up"

"Be careful how you treat people on your way up cause you might meet 'em on your way down"

And one of my friends said this about community service: "I feel like I'm serving my God by serving his people" I almost cried! (Well, maybe I just got a little emotional)

Welcome:)

I like these because they are so TRUE!
