“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and to impoverish yourself if you forget the errand."—Woodrow Wilson, “Address at Swarthmore College, October 25, 1913,” in The Politics of Woodrow Wilson: Selections from His Speeches and Writings, edited by August Heckscher (1970)
(Thanks to my friend Brian for the suggestion.)
