Our Mottos

I thought it would be both fun and revealing to share here the mottos or favorite quotes that some of my colleagues hold dear. Please feel free to add yours.

Shayla:

"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home -- so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person: The neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere." (Eleanor Roosevelt, from a speech delivered to the U.N. in 1958)

"Accept that some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue."
