INTRODUCTION
All of us want to make a difference, but then think why bother, I am only one person and what difference can I make.
We can all make a difference individually and when we put our efforts together we can bring about real change.
The important thing is to start in your community, neighbourhood, city or country. Once you have momentum you may then want to spread your wings and help causes and people in other countries.
With the internet, the ways we can make a difference are endless and even those of us who don’t want to leave our comfort zone or do something physical can get involved.
One such cause is Kiva http://www.kiva.org/ This is a cause I am committed to as I believe they make a difference. My team on Kiva is called Helping Hands International http://www.kiva.org/team/helping_hands_international. It seeks to help people despite color, language or religion. Feel free to explore and join us.
Remember ideas not coupled with action become no bigger than the brain cells they once occupied and small initiatives that you and I take can make a huge difference in people’s lives.
I hope you benefit from 101 Selected Quotes on Making a Difference as much as I have in putting it together.

I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate. It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.
Leo C. Rosten
2
When you encourage others, you in the process are encouraged because you're making a commitment and difference in that person's life. Encouragement really does make a difference.
Zig Ziglar

I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a finger print - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.
Oprah Winfrey

It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
Mahatma Gandhi

That's the beauty of coaching. You get to touch lives, you get to make a difference. You get to do things for people who will never pay you back and they say you never have had a perfect day until you've done something for someone who will never pay you back.
Morgan Wootten

Anyone can make a difference, so you don't have to have it be some huge, global campaign... you can start small, and that's just as important.
Blake Mycoskie

Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.
Nelson
