There is no better investment of time and money than in the life of a child. You have to find something to believe in. It's important to the person who serves as well as the recipient. The well-being of our children must be the national priority and the responsibility of every individual. We can recover our sense of community - our pride in being a nation of neighbors who care.
Nothing is more important to our shared future than the well-being of children.
For children are at our core - not only as vulnerable beings in need of love and care but as a moral touchstone amidst the complexity and contentiousness of modern life. I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. Everyone can be great because anyone can serve.
