The histories of the poor and the powerless are as important as those of their conquerors, their colonizers, their kings and queens.

The more we pull together toward a new day, the less it matters what pushed us apart in the past.

The ultimate expression of generosity is not in giving of what you have, but in giving of who you are.

You cannot fully understand your own life without knowing and thinking beyond your life, your own neighborhood, and even your own nation.
