I learned in my four decades in Washington that one person can make a difference.

Charge hell with a bucket of water.

Laughter heals, gives solace, and is life enhancing.

What a lot we lost when we stopped writing letters. You can't reread a phone call.

Instead of looking at life as a narrowing funnel, we can see it ever widening to choose the things we want to do, to take the wisdom we've learned and create something.

If we can't turn the world around we can at least bolster the victims.

I have worked all my life, wanted to work all my life, needed to work all my life.
