I also grew up with community co-parents who looked out for each other. They looked out for children and tried to be the hands of God. They tried to live their faith.

I hope that people of all faiths will start looking for our too-invisible children who are crying out for help.

Whoever said anyone has the right to give up.

So much of America's tragic and costly failure to care for all its children stems from our tendency to distinguish between our own children and other people's children--as if justice were divisible.

Don't feel entitled to anything you didn't sweat and struggle for.

It is a spiritually impoverished nation that permits infants and children to be the poorest Americans.

Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.
