QUOTES

"It's easier to be ignorant and say I don't know about the problem. But once you know, once you've seen it in their eyes, then you have a responsibility to do something. There is strength in numbers, and if we all work together as a team, we can be unstoppable."

"I won't give up until the exploitation of all children has ended and all children have their rights."

Collectively, we have all it takes to create a just and peaceful world, but we must work together and share our talents. We all need one another to find happiness within ourselves and within the world.

each of us has the power to be Superman and to help rid the world of its worst evils-poverty, loneliness, and exploitation.
