I like politics. I like traveling in the United States.

The power of a book lies in its power to turn a solitary act into a shared vision. As long as we have books, we are not alone.

We all, parents, educators, community leaders, and every... citizen, need to come together to find new ways to engage children with the natural environment.

I like this idea of generation after generation helping children on the streets, kids who have run away fleeing violence. I like the whole idea of opening arms for children who have nowhere else to go, sleeping by dumpsters.

When you reach out to others in need, when you reach out to the world, you really do have a satisfying life by helping others.

I have always admired organizations that help children grow and learn, and organizations that protect and shelter children when no one else does. And I wanted to draw attention to these organizations and recognize the contributions they were making to the country and to our children in particular.

What I want for children in our country and around the world is safe, stable and loving homes.
