A nation that does not stand for its children does not stand for anything and will not stand tall in the future.

Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.

The question is not whether we can afford to invest in every child; it is whether we can afford not to.

There are so many noises and pulls and competing demands in our lives that many of us never find out who we are. Learn to be quiet enough to hear the sound of the genuine within yourself so that you can hear it in other people.

It is time for every one of us to roll up our sleeves and put ourselves at the top of our commitment list.

I think it is important that people who are perceived as liberals not be afraid of talking about moral and community values.

Service is the rent we pay for living.
