Children are more than we think they are; they can do more than we think they can do. All they need is a vote of confidence from grownups, whom they will ultimately replace anyway. Their dream today will become the realities of tomorrow.

What’s your cause? Does it move you to tears? What is it that moves you passionately?

But when adults speak up for the vulnerable and the weak, working and demanding that safety and respect prevail, God's little lambs are protected and nourished. They know they are not abandoned; they are loved. And the world becomes a little more like heaven as a result.

I’m convinced that one of the most powerful forces on earth is the prayer of a child.

I spend half my time comforting the afflicated, and the other half afflicting the comfortable.

To be compassionate in this hurting world means it will cost you something.

Children are more than we think they are; they can do more than we think they can do. All they need is a vote of confidence from grownups, whom they will ultimately replace anyway. Their dream today will become the realities of tomorrow.
