Quote of the month: Known by our works

Rotary International News -- 26 January 2011

Almon E. Roth, 1930-31 RI president

Each month, we highlight Rotary's history and share an inspirational quote from past Rotary leaders. January's quote:

"Our success or failure will not depend upon the machinery of Rotary or its physical growth, but upon the extent to which Rotary’s ideals or objectives are translated into positive, tangible results in personal, business, community, and international life. We shall be known by our works."

— Almon E. Roth, 1930-31 RI president, in The Rotarian , July 1930
