"Even a seemingly small gesture can have a significant, perhaps decisive impact on the person to whom it is offered. In regard to critical voices asserting that it is impossible to save everyone, Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948) told his grandson:
"'On those occasions, it's a matter of whether one touches the life of an individual. We can't look after thousands of people. But if we can touch one person's life and save that life, that is the great change that we can effect.'" [i]
