Martin Luther King Jr.
A man at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body.

If we work thus we shall be men, and our days will be happy and eventful.
William Morris

He profits most who serves best.Sheldon had attended the 1910 convention in Chicago, and had spoken a similar phrase to the assembled delegates, He profits most who serves his fellows best.
