Want to make a difference but don't know where or how to start? Take a look at these quotes and get inspired. From Mahatma Gandhi, Michael J. Fox, Michael Dell, Robert J. Kennedy and Lady GaGa.

2. “It's the action, not the fruit
of the action, that's
important”
“You have to do the right thing. It may not
be in your power, may not be in your time,
that there'll be any fruit.
But that doesn't mean you stop doing the
right thing. You may never know what
results come from your action.
But if you do nothing, there will be no
result.”
Mahatma Gandhi

3. “The purpose of life is not
to be happy”
“It is to be useful, to be honorable, to
be compassionate, to have it make
some difference that you have lived
and lived well.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

4. “… each of us can work to
change a small portion of
events ”
“Few will have the greatness to bend history
itself, but each of us can work to change a
small portion of events. It is from numberless
diverse acts of courage and belief that human
history is shaped.
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or
acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out
against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple
of hope, and crossing each other from a
million different centers of energy and daring
those ripples build a current which can sweep
down the mightiest walls of oppression and
resistance.”
Robert F. Kennedy

5. “No work is insignificant.”
“All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and
importance and should be undertaken with
painstaking excellence.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

6. “The purpose of life is
to contribute in some
way to making things
better.”
Robert F. Kennedy

7. “Status quos are made to
be broken.”
Ray Davis

8. “I don't want to make
money; I want to make
a difference”
Lady Gaga

9. “I went to Massachusetts to
make a difference”
“I didn't go there to begin a political career
running time and time again.
I made a difference.
I put in place the things I wanted to do.”
Mitt Romney

10. • “There's always an opportunity to
make a difference”
“It's through curiosity and looking at
opportunities in new ways that we've always
mapped our path at Dell.
There's always an opportunity to make a
difference.”
Michael Dell

11. “… but to make a difference in
people’s lives…”
I mean, I enjoy my work as an actor. But
to make a difference in people's lives
through advocacy and through
supporting research - that's the kind of
privilege that few people will get, and it's
certainly bigger than being on TV every
Thursday for half an hour.
Michael J. Fox
