“You really can change the world if you care enough.” — Marian Wright Edelman Quote

“You really can change the world if you care enough.”

“I've always hated being hemmed in or seeing anybody being hemmed in. Even when I was the smallest child, I couldn't bear being told I couldn't drink at a so-called white drinking fountain.”

“You didn't have a choice about the parents you inherited, but you do have a choice about the kind of parent you will be.”

“I get really tired of all the comments saying I should change my approach.”

“To be hopeful means to be uncertain about the future, to be tender toward possibilities, to be dedicated to change all the way down to the bottom of your heart.”

“I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.”
