A Quote by Marian Wright Edelman

Service is the rent we pay for living. — © Marian Wright Edelman
Service is the rent we pay for living.
Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth.
Service to society is the rent we pay for living on this planet.
If service is the rent you pay for your existence on this earth, are you behind in your rent?
Service is the rent that you pay for room on this earth.
People who can least afford to pay rent, pay rent. People who can most afford to pay rent, build up equity.
The thing I've learned most about poverty is how expensive it is to be poor. It's super easy to pay rent every month if you earn enough to pay rent and have a decent job. It's super hard to pay rent if you need a coupon from the state and then need to go find an apartment that will accept that coupon and only that coupon.
Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.
Freedom has only the meaning with which men endow it. It is not enough to pay lip service to the concept of religious liberty. We must pay heart service to it as well, else it remains an empty phrase instead of a living reality.
... do something. Pay your rent for the privilege of living on this beautiful, blue-green, living Earth.
The service we render others is the rent we pay for our room on earth.
I've always believed that service to others is rent we pay for our time on this planet.
Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.
Activism is the rent I pay for living on this planet.
Perhaps the highest goodness attainable is a life of service to all mankind. Such an ideal is supported in nearly every page in the Gospels-the parables, the sermons, and the countless acts of service by our Lord Himself. The ideal is not limited to any particular kind of service, nor a given quantity of service. The ideal is accepting life itself as a trust to be used in the welfare of mankind. It is a life that is glad for the chance to be of any help, an attitude that 'service is the rent we pay for our own room on earth.' (Lord Halifax)
We had bills to pay. My dad wasn't working, and it was tough for my mom. People were always raising the rent, so I had to work, too. Everybody in the house worked to pay the rent.
I probably got many personalities living in my head and they all have to pay rent, OK?
