“One
day, you look around and see that there are things you can do that
others cannot. All of a sudden, you are looked up to for leadership. All
of a sudden, you realize that you really can make a difference if only
you have the courage to embrace challenges that truly test your
character and skills.”
—Madeleine K. Albright, Commencement
Address, Duke University, 2004.
“Never
work just for money or for power. They won’t save your soul or help you
sleep at night.”
—Marian Wright Edelman
