Working Together for the Common Good
Our
Quote of the Week is from Sargent Shriver's 2002 Speech at Washington and Lee
University, a speech we return to often for its ability to inspire. This
particular quote highlights two important notions for Sargent Shriver: that we
are all connected, and that we can work together to improve society. We invite
you to read Sarge's entire speech, or to watch the video of the address. His
words about seizing the opportunity to make society better in the 21st century,
combined with his lessons learned from the War on Poverty and the Peace Corps,
combine to make this a truly memorable speech.
