I don't work a five-day week as a rule and I've managed to fill that time up. It hasn't been that hard. I volunteer at school. I'm working because I love it. Yet I don't not envy women who have a stay-at-home job because you miss stuff.

This is pure speculation but for a period of time a lot of getting into a party was through fundraising and volunteer work and Republican women had more time to do that than democratic women who were out there getting jobs.

How do you tell troops who volunteered to fight for our freedoms that the country they fought for won't take care of them when they come back? In the time of war our troops and their families are supposed to be our number one priority.

Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker or you make time every month to do volunteer work there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.

We reserve our deepest respect and admiration for those who volunteer for service and give their lives to help keep our nation secure.

When I first started working in politics as a junior aide on Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign it never occurred to me that I would one day work in the White House. There were plenty of women among the volunteers who stuffed envelopes and walked precincts. But there were fewer and fewer on each successive level of influence and access.

In addition to serving overseas the Peace Corps' Crisis Corps Volunteers have helped their fellow Americans.

I wish the Peace Corps and its volunteers continued success and perseverance. We are grateful for their contributions to society and dedication to providing assistance where it is needed. May the Peace Corps continue its legacy of service both at home and abroad.

In the Peace Corps the volunteer must be a fully developed mature person. He must not join to run abroad or escape problems.

When you were a volunteer for the Bush-Cheney campaign you came in the morning you had a supervisor who gave you a list of calls to make and a time to do it in.

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?

We all have a responsibility to volunteer somewhere and I'm lucky that I get the education and get taken to places to see what's out there and see what's happening and to then be a part of it in hopefully an impactful way.

Jews know this in their bones. Our community could not exist for a day without its volunteers. They are the lifeblood of our organizations whether they involve welfare youth education care of the sick and elderly or even protection against violence and abuse.

The art world is an all-volunteer force. No one has to be here if he or she doesn't want to be and we should be associating with anyone we want to.

And in my own life in my own small way I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. Because I believe that each of us - no matter what our age or background or walk of life - each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation.
