From dear Tim Burchill….

“The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.” Leo Tolstoy

“To give real service, you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.” Donald A. Adams, 15th president of Rotary International

“A leader is best when people barely know he exists. Not so good when people obey and acclaim him. Worse when they despite him. But…of a good leader…who talks little when his work is done…his aim is fufilled. They will say: ‘We did it ourselves.'” Lao-Tse

And the email ended with “Happy New Year!”

Thank you dearest, Tim.
