Marian Wright Edelman
Being considerate of others will take your children further in life than any college degree.
Don't feel entitled to anything you didn't sweat and struggle for.
Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.
If we don't stand up for children, then we don't stand for much.
If you don't like the way the world is, you change it. You have an obligation to change it. You just do it one step at a time.
Learn to be quiet enough to hear the genuine within yourself so that you can hear it in others.
My faith has been the driving thing of my life. I think it is important that people who are perceived as liberals not be afraid of talking about moral and community values.
Never work just for money or for power. They won't save your soul or help you sleep at night.
No one, Eleanor Roosevelt said, can make you feel inferior without your consent. Never give it.
No person has the right to rain on your dreams.
Parents have become so convinced that educators know what is best for their children that they forget that they themselves are really the experts.

Remember and help America remember that the fellowship of human beings is more important than the fellowship of race and class and gender in a democratic society.
Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.
The challenge of social justice is to evoke a sense of community that we need to make our nation a better place, just as we make it a safer place.

“Every dollar spent on preschool produces a 12 percent real rate of return – a number that, in the private sector, would start a venture capital stampede.”

“The best economic development strategy is investment in early childhood.”
-- Art Rolnick, senior vice president, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis
-- Art Rolnick, senior vice president, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis
“Research has shown that investment in early childhood development programs brings a real (that is, inflation adjusted) public return of 12 percent and a real total return, public and private, of 16 percent. We are unaware of any other economic development effort that has such a public return, and yet early childhood is rarely viewed in economic development terms.”

"There's more to life than just what's in their neighborhood."
"And that's why I became a program administrator because I felt like I could have a larger impact on managing programs, to be able to shape programs, be able to look at how you design a program that's going to best benefit the children...not only the children but also benifitting the parents..."
