Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day.

Our hope with sharing our story is not to promote or glorify ourselves. Our intention is to inspire others to generosity.

[Post-surgery,] it felt like we had pulled of the biggest project of our careers. I had a tremendous feeling of achievement.

— Hope Watson, an associate at Thompson Coburn, in comments given to the ABA Journal, concerning her July kidney donation to Bernie Citron, a partner at the firm she’d never met before. “For someone you have never met? Who is younger than my kids? To do this?” Citron said of Watson. “It’s just out-and-out amazing that there are people like Hope out there who would do something like this.” Christopher Hohn, chair of Thompson Coburn, said of the situation in a statement, “What Hope did for Bernie is an extraordinary act of generosity, but it’s also true to who we are as a firm. We have a deeply collegial culture, and we look out for one another, both professionally and personally.” Thompson Coburn donated $25,000 to the National Kidney Foundation in the wake of this touching story.
