Words of Inspiration and Motivation

"But we must also improve the lives of children already born in the villages and towns and cities on this earth. They can be taught by great teachers by space communicators and the miracle of satellite television- and we ware going to bring to bear every resource of mind and technology to help make this dream come true." -President Lyndon B. Johnson

"…I was 14 the night Daddy died. He had holes in his shoes, but he had two children who had graduated from college…and a vision that he was able to convey to me even dying in an ambulance: that I, a young black girl, could be and do anything, that race and gender are shadows, and character, self-discipline, determination, attitude and will are the substance of life. " -Marian Wright Edelman

"I hope you will dream a new world, I hope you will believe you can achieve it, I hope you will have faith in yourself, I hope you will struggle to make sure that this is a world where every child can succeed as you have." -Marian Wright Edelman

"All children are taught in ways that will make them reach their maximum potential."
-Louise Derman-Burkes

"All education is a civil rights issue." -Renatta M. Cooper

  1. Great quote from Marian Wright Edelman; she is woman with great knowledge and wisdom. She has a passion for children and is apart of our history of being the founder of the Children’s Defense Fund.
