The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of the ages may be preserved
by quotations.

Marian Wight Edelman

"If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won't either. And if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out."

- Marian Wright Edelman, children's rights activist
