Absolutely. This was one of the quotes we used at an all-volunteer organization I directed.
It's true.

Yes, this is a very beautiful quote.
It's very hopeful, positive and action-oriented. It's about caring and teamwork. It reminds us that we are not alone in the world and that we do count and we can make a difference.
It just occurred to me now that this quote implies that non-violent action is the way to change the world rather than through violence. So this quote also is encouraging us to believe that world peace is possible and can exist. Everything is up to us - "thoughtful, committed citizens".

I love this quote.
Another favorite of mine: "I am only one, but still I am one; I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.” This is from Edward Hale but is frequently attributed to Hellen Keller.

Very true. It only takes a small trickle from each person to make better world.

It is so true. Every thing big does start out from something little.
