We want to raise our children so that they can take a sense of pleasure in both their own heritage and the diversity of others.

I feel that the real drama of life is never center stage, it's always in the wings. It's never with the spotlight on, it's usually something that you don't expect at all.

Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered . . . just one kind word to another person.

We all have only one life to live on Earth, and through television we have the choice of encouraging others to demean this life or to cherish it in creative, imaginative ways.

Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else.

Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.

Children long to know that they are lovable. And there are ways that technology can help with that. But ultimately it's their relationships with their parents, their grandparents, their peers, and their teachers that help them to know that for sure. A child can learn the word "hug" and the letters h-u-g through a computer, but a computer can never give the child a hug.
