  [Referring to https://www.rotary.org/en] “Here's one of their primary lessons or principles, and that is the one of ‘Service above self.’ how simple are those few words, so powerful, ‘Service above self’? I mean, that's what I do. It's not about me, it's about the impact I can have on others" — Miguel A. De Jesus
