"You can really change the world if you care enough.."
"It is the responsibility of every adult...to make sure that children hear what we have learned from the lessons of life and to hear over and over that we love them and that they are not alone."
MARIAN WRIGHT EDELMAN
"People are more impressed by the power of our example rather than the example of our power."
"We all do better when we work together. Our differences do matter, but our common humanity matters more. "
William J. Clinton
Great quotes and I hope that what these people have said make each of us find way to inspire children of today's society.
ReplyDeleteI really like the quote by William Clinton regarding power and the power of example. It is so applicable in life for all ages.It is one of those that you want to paint on a plaque and hang in your house or office as a reminder.
ReplyDeleteI also liked Clinton's quote! It reminds me why he was in office for so long. I agree with him that working together is more important than our differences.
ReplyDeleteMarian Write edelmen's quote reminds me of a line from The Help where the nanny always reminded the little girl that she was loved and important.
President Clinton's quote about how our differences matter, but our common humanity matters more is among my favorite of the many wise thoughts he shared with the country.
ReplyDeleteMarian Wright Edelman is a woman I admire very much. She has a way of leaving no doubt that she truly cares about children just with her words. Of course, her actions speak volumes about that love and caring. I believe no child can be told enough, and never too much, that they are loved.
Antowah,
ReplyDeleteI used the same quote by Marian Wright Edelman. It really touched me because I am a firm believer that communication with our children is so very important. They need to hear how much we love and care about them, and that they can count on us. Developing a healthy relationship with children helps them feel safe and secure.
