Service is the rent we pay for living.

I think it is important that people who are perceived as liberals not be afraid of talking about moral and community values.

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

So much of America's tragic an...

So much of America's tragic and costly failure to care for all its children stems from our tendency to distinguish between our own children and other people's children--as if justice were divisible.

Let all children come unto me.

Somehow we are going to have to develop a concept of enough for those at the top and at the bottom so that the necessities of the many are not sacrificed for the luxuries of the few.

Children don't vote but adults who do must stand up and vote for them.

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.

When Jesus Christ asked little children to come to him, he didn't say only rich children, or White children, or children with two-parent families, or children who didn't have a mental or physical handicap. He said, Let all children come unto me.

I don't care what my children choose to do professionally, just as long as within their choices they understand they've got to give something back.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

You were born God's original. Try not to become someone's copy.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

The legacy I want to leave is ...

The legacy I want to leave is a child-care system that says that no kid is going to be left alone or left unsafe.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

Investing in [children] is not...

Investing in [children] is not a national luxury or a national choice. It's a national necessity. If the foundation of your house is crumbling, you don't say you can't afford to fix it while you're building astronomically expensive fences to protect it from outside enemies. The issue is not are we going to pay - it's are we going to pay now, up front, or are we going to pay a whole lot more later on.

Marian Wright Edelman 208 quotes

We must serve consciously as caring role models, emphasizing the ethic of service, not consumption.

Hope is the best contraceptive.

It is utterly exhausting being Black in America - physically, mentally, and emotionally. While many minority groups and women feel similar stress, there is no respite or escape from your badge of color.

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