It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.

Under current law volunteers who are not working with an official nonprofit organization are not covered by the Volunteer Protection Act. Therefore there are absolutely no legal protections for the average American who wishes to volunteer.

It is imperative that when thousands of selfless volunteers respond to those who have incurred the wrath of a natural disaster that legal liability need not be hanging over their heads.

In the military I learned that 'leadership' means raising your hand and volunteering for the tough important assignments.

A leader is one who out of madness or goodness volunteers to take upon himself the woe of the people. There are few men so foolish hence the erratic quality of leadership in the world.

Foreign Ministry guys don't become agents. Party officials the Foreign Ministry nerds tend not to volunteer to Western intelligence agencies.

However many skilled medical volunteers are turned away because community health centers cannot afford to cover their additional medical liability insurance.

You can study government and politics in school but the best way to really understand the process is to volunteer your time.

I am proud to represent these men and women who empower people in developing nations and promote the Peace Corps mission of peace and friendship. These volunteers are making major strides to improve the lives of people and communities around the world.

Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?
