Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings.

Motherhood is a biological fact, while fatherhood is a social invention.

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

The family you come from isn’t as important as the family you’re going to have.

Ring Lardner1885–1933

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap on-a-rope.
