I'm trying to create my business cards for the 501(c)3 that I am starting in honor of my donor, Etta.  Just as a reminder the charity is named "Etta's Gift".

What quote would inspire you to give to, or at the very least, find out more about this charity?  I want the quote to be both inspiring to those interested in giving a monitary or gift donation, as well as inspiring to those who might be interested in donating a kidney.
If you have another quote that you think would be good or if you have an original quote idea I'd love to hear it.  Thanks so much!!!
I ONLY NEED ONE!!!

How about the starfish parable?

You can use something like this...

Nice jbeany!  Thanks.

The Starfish
Author Unknown

As a man walked a desolate beach one cold, gray morning he began to see another figure, far in the distance. Slowly the two approached each other, and he could make out a local native who kept leaning down, picking something up and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he hurled things into the ocean. As the distance between them continued to narrow, the man could see that the native was picking up starfish that had been washed upon the beach and, one at a time, was throwing them back into the water. Puzzled, the man approached the native and asked what he was doing.

"I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide right now and all of these starfish have been washed up onto the shore.  If I don't throw them back into the sea, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen."

"But there must be thousands of starfish on this beach," the man replied. "You can't possibly get to all of them. There are just too many. And this same thing is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?"

The local native smiled, bent down and picked up another starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea he replied, "Made a difference to that one!"


Each of us is but one person: limited, burdened with our own cares and responsibilities. We may feel there is so much to be done, and we have so little to give. We're usually short of everything, especially time and money. When we leave this shore, there will still be millions of starfish stranded on the beach. Maybe we can't change the whole world, but there isn't one of us who can't help change one person's whole world.

One at a time. We can make a difference.
