We must put the legal work next to the public education work next to the legislative work next to the organizing work, and that's what's brought us so far.
When it comes to sending my children to college, I want the best education. It's the only thing I'm really leaving them - a good education.

Positively, the best thing a man can have to do, is nothing, and next to that perhaps — good works.
The next best thing to having good ideas is recognizing good ideas from your users. Sometimes the latter is better.
