”We have to improve life, not just for those who have the most skills and those who know how to manipulate the system. But also for and with those who often have so much to give but never get the opportunity.”
”If the time is not ripe, we have to ripen the time.”
”We have to be willing to acknowledge that we are capable of error and that our biases can distort our vision.”
”We’ve got to work to save our children and do it with full respect for the fact that if we do not, no one else is going to do it.”
”You’re here to make a difference. You are here to change the world.”
