QUOTES

Service is the rent you pay for room on this earth.

Tremendous amounts of talent are being lost to our society just because that talent wears a skirt.

I am not the candidate of black America, although I am black and proud. I am not the candidate of the women's movement of this country, although I am equally proud of that. I am not the candidate of any political bosses or special interests. I am the candidate of the people.
