Service is what life is all about.
— Marian Wright Edelman
People who don't vote have no line of credit with people who are elected and thus pose no threat to those who act against our interests.
If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.
We are willing to spend the least amount of money to keep a kid at home, more to put him in a foster home and the most to institutionalize him.
Being considerate of others will take your children further in life than any college degree.
Never work just for money or for power. They won't save your soul or help you sleep at night.
If you don't like the way the world is, you change it. You have an obligation to change it. You just do it one step at a time.
No person has the right to rain on your dreams.
Parents have become so convinced that educators know what is best for their children that they forget that they themselves are really the experts.
Don't feel entitled to anything you didn't sweat and struggle for.
We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
