this very important quote of the famous anthropologist, Margaret Mead:

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

7. A couple of other quotes I like to remember

This from Gandhi --

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants, andmurderers, and for a time thaty can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Always. -- Gandhi



And I just saw in my files this one from former CIA guy turned anti-Bush activist, Ray McGovern:

Cast your whole vote. A minority is powerless when it sides with the majority; but it becomes very powerful when it throws its whole weight against the majority. -- Ray McGovern

9. I like those, thanks, I will add them to my favorite quote

8. Thanks for that

"Our loyalty is due entirely to the United States. It is due to the President only and exactly to the degree in which he efficiently serves the United States. It is our duty to support him when he serves the United States well. It is our duty to oppose him when he serves it badly." - T Roosevelt - 1918

We are the thoughtful, committed people that will do our duty to this nation and indeed change the world.

That quote has been my sig line for my e-mail (and DU, when I came to DU) ever since Bush was selected by the Supremes, but I have been SO low lately it's been too easy to forget how very many people are striving to change our world for the better.

Thanks for sending my favorite quote out there!
