Quotes: The best way to find yourself is
to lose yourself in the service of others.

Gandhi
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.

My Definition: I heard a quote once, that Pres.
Hinckley’s father told him while he was on his mission: “Forget yourself and go
to work.” I think this is the perfect definition of Service.
