A Quote by Marian Wright Edelman

So often we are depressed by what remains to be done and forget to be thankful for all that has been done. — © Marian Wright Edelman
So often we are depressed by what remains to be done and forget to be thankful for all that has been done.
Actually, I am asking for this: for something to be done. I think that if it had been one of the 50 states, something would have already been done. Unfortunately, you know, Puerto Rico is a territory. Very often they forget about Puerto Rico.
One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done.
Nothing is done. Everything in the world remains to be done or done over.
I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.
Too often, I have not been what I wanted to be; I've succumbed to pressures. Yes, I have. The things I've done that I liked, I've always done against advice.
I'm not gonna try to defend, or undo what's been done. All I could say about whatever's been done, it's been done, and it's water under the bridge. I have no regrets of my life.
I often say that in making dances I can make a world where I think things are done morally, done democratically, done honestly.
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
I've done whatever I've been compelled to do, and I've done it all to the best of my abilities. If I've been recognized or honored for what I've done then those are bonuses, not the reason for doing what I did.
An entrepreneur is somebody who is taking bold risks, is often doing things that have never been done before, trying to do things better. And an adventurer is challenging themselves, often doing things that have never been done before, seeing what they're capable of. In both cases, you've got to protect against the downside.
What I have done is worthy of nothing but silence and forgetfulness, but what God has done for me is worthy of everlasting and thankful memory.
Often when you're filming comedy and you've done six or seven takes, the joke's been done and you know you're gonna have to say it again in another set up. I think it's good not to be indulged too much.
I've done films over the years that basically no one saw. And I'm thankful that some of them haven't been seen.
True greatness means that, even if you forget what you've done for others, you never forget what others have done for you. It means always doing your utmost to repay debts of gratitude. Such people radiate integrity, depth of character, bigheartedness and charm.
I've been the movie business for over 50 years, and I've done everything imaginable that could be done or ever was done by anybody.
I'm a curious person. I like to ask questions. Well, why? People would say, it's never been done. It's never been done does not mean that it can't be done.
