Paul Wellstone

I think the future also will not belong to those who are cynical or those who stand on the sidelines.

What makes community organizing especially attractive is the faith it places in the ability of the poor to make decisions for themselves.

Our politics are our deepest form of expression: they mirror our past experiences and reflect our dreams and aspirations for the future.

Sometimes, the only realists are the dreamers.

The only way to change is to vote. People are responsible.
