More From Marian Wright Edelman

Learning from our mistakes is critical for improving, but even i don't have patience for ranking my regrets. regret is a negative emotion that inhibits the optimism required to take on new challenges. you risk living in an alternative universe, where if only you had done this or that differently, things would be better. that's a poor substitute for making your actual life better, or improving the lives of others. regret briefly, analyze and understand, and then move on, improving the only life you have.
Regret Mistake Moving
I think the world is always improving and always not improving. i think that both are simultaneously happening all the time. i don't think it's one motion unfortunately - i wish we could say it's better, better, better - but i think it's better, bad, better, bad - you know?
Thinking Wish World
Peace is not just the absence of war, it is the active presence of a capacity for love and compassion, and reciprocity. it is an awareness that our lives are not to be lived simply for ourselves through expressing our individuality, but we confirm the purpose of our lives through the work of expressing our shared sense of community in a purposeful and practical way; to sustain our own lives we sustain the lives of others - in family, in a community of neighborhoods called a city, and in a community of nations called the world.
Peace War Compassion
I leave, and the leaving is so exhilarating i know i can never go back. but then what? do i just keep leaving places, and leaving them, and leaving them, tramping a perpetual journey?

The broadway community is unlike any community in show business and it is unlike any community in the world. when you come into the broadway community they open the door and they say "welcome". not only do they do that, but when times are really tough and horrendous things have happened and really tragic things - the broadway community shows up! and they say "how can we help?".
Doors Community World
Our lack of community is intensely painful. a tv talk show is not community. a couple of hours in a church pew each sabbath is not community. a multinational corporation is neither a human nor a community, and in the sweatshops, defiled agribusiness fields, genetic mutation labs, ecological dead zones, the inhumanity is showing. without genuine spiritual community, life becomes a struggle so lonely and grim that even hillary clinton has admitted "it takes a village".

Even today many educated people think that the victory of christianity over greek philosophy is a proof of the superior truth of the former - although in this case it was only the coarser and more violent that conquered the more spiritual and delicate. so far as superior truth is concerned, it is enough to observe that the awakening sciences have allied themselves point by point with the philosophy of epicurus, but point by point rejected christianity.
Spiritual Philosophy Thinking
Music is going to break the way because music is in a spiritual thing of its own. it's like the waves of the ocean. you can't just cut out the perfect wave and take it home with you.

If words come out of the heart, they will enter the heart.
Spiritual Heart Sufi
It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest.
