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.

Let all children come unto me.

I need to work outside government, on my own.

Understand and be confident that each of us can make a difference by caring and acting in small as well as big ways.

A lot of people are waiting for Martin Luther King or Mahatma Gandhi to come back - but they are gone. We are it. It is up to us. It is up to you.

I don't care what my children choose to do professionally, just as long as within their choices they understand they've got to give something back.

Children cannot eat rhetoric and they cannot be sheltered by commissions. I don't want to see another commission that studies the needs of kids. We need to help them.
