Inspirational Quotes:

Marian Wright Edelman:

It's time for greatness -- not for greed. It's a time for idealism -- not ideology. It is a time not just for compassionate words, but compassionate action.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

Martin Luther King, Jr.:

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

Anne Frank:

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
