Quotations by Author



Marian Wright 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 with 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.


If we don't stand up for children, then we don't stand for much.
