No time is ever wasted if you have a book along as a companion.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

Unless children have strong e...

Unless children have strong education and strong families and strong communities and decent housing, it's not enough to go sit in at a lunch counter.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

Whoever said anybody has a right to give up?

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

To all those mothers and fath...

To all those mothers and fathers who are struggling with teen-agers, I say, just be patient: even though it looks like you can't do anything right for a number of years, parents become popular again when kids reach 20.

Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

You're not obligated to win. ...

You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

I'm sure I am impatient somet...

I'm sure I am impatient sometimes. I sure do get angry sometimes. I think it's outrageous how hard it is to get this country to feed its children and to take care of its children, to give them a decent education.

I grew up in a very religious family and it is the motivating force to every thing I do. I am fortunate to have had adults all around me who really lived their faith, in helping other people and doing the best you can do.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

Together we can and must figh...

Together we can and must fight for justice for our children and protect them from draconian tax cuts and budget choices that threaten their survival, education and preparation for the future. If they are not ready for tomorrow, neither is America.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

Homeless shelters, child hung...

Homeless shelters, child hunger, and child suffering have become normalized in the richest nation on earth. It's time to reset our moral compass and redefine how we measure success.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

If we think we have ours and ...

If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans and the very dream that is America.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

There are so many noises and ...

There are so many noises and pulls and competing demands in our lives that many of us never find out who we are. Learn to be quiet enough to hear the sound of the genuine within yourself so that you can hear it in other people.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

Don't just dream about grandi...

Don't just dream about grandiose acts of doing good. Every day do small ones, that add up over time to positive patterns.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

Why are guns the only unregul...

Why are guns the only unregulated consumer products in America? We regulate toy guns and teddy bears, but we do not regulate a product that kills 4,600 children a year.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

Never let us confuse what is ...

Never let us confuse what is legal with what is right. Everything Hitler did in Nazi Germany was legal, but it was not right.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

Each American must 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.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

The civil-rights movement was...

The civil-rights movement was completely impossible to achieve. But look at what ordinary people were able to do because they were willing to sacrifice their lives to stay with it. They didn't expect a political process to respond to them. They made the political process respond to them. To say "It's so bad I won't bother" is to give up on your children and give up on your future.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

It really takes a community to raise children, no matter how much money one has. Nobody can do it well alone. And it's the bedrock security of community that we and our children need.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

You can achieve much in life ...

You can achieve much in life if you don't mind doing the work and giving someone else the credit.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

You are in charge of your own attitude whatever others do or circumstances you face. The only person you can control is yourself...worry more about your attitude than your aptitude or lineage.
