"Marketing is not an event, but a process...It has a beginning, a middle, but never an end, for it is a process. You improve it, perfect it, change it, even pause it. But you never stop it completely." -- Jay Conrad Levinson (NOTE: This pertains to cause marketing as well.)

"To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves." -- Mahatma Gandhi
