If you make one gift this year, make it the gift of knowledge.

Let us remind ourselves that our work is far from complete. Where there is poverty and sickness, including AIDS, where human beings are being oppressed, there is more work to be done. Our work is for freedom for all.

There is little favorable to be said about poverty, but it was often an incubator of true friendship.

Home is home even for those who aspire to serve wider interests and who have established their home of choice in distant regions.

Does anybody really think that they didn't get what they had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment?

I have always admired men and women who used their talents to serve the community, and who were highly respected and admired for their efforts and sacrifices, even though they held no office whatsoever in government or society.
