Quotable Quotes

Thankfully,

perseverance

is a great

substitute

for talent.

STEVE MARTIN,comedian

Learning is the most important thing,

no matter how you do it, or where you

do it, or who you do it with.

SAOIRSE RONAN,actress

Teach, volunteer,

show up at PTA

meetings, show up

at the Boys & Girls

Club, vote, march,

be a citizen. Because

in a world of bullets

and bots, divisions

and distractions, we

need more citizens

pulling us together

instead of trying

to pull us apart. Give

back to your home

as the kind of citizen

who builds bridges.

Home shapes you.

You make sure you

shape it back.

QUEEN LATIFAH, rapper

I’VE ALWAYS

BEEN

MOTIVATED

MORE BY

NEGATIVE

COMMENTS

THAN BY

POSITIVE

ONES. I KNOW

WHAT I DO

WELL. TELL ME

WHAT I DON’T

DO WELL.

ABBY WAMBACH, athlete

I KEEP

GETTING ASKED,

“WHAT’S THE

SECRET OF YOUR

LONGEVITY?”

I SAY,

“I HAVEN’T DIED.”

B I LLY J O E L , singer
