The service we render to others is really the rent we pay for our room on this earth. It is obvious that man is himself a traveler; that the purpose of this world is not ‘to have and to hold’ but ‘to give and serve.’ There can be no other meaning.  – Wilfred Grenfell (1865-1940)

(Dr. Grenfell trained as a surgeon in London, was converted in 1887 under the preaching of Dwight L. Moody in London and dedicated his life to service as a medical missionary in Labrador and northern Newfoundland.)
