"You have to do the best with what you are given. If we do the best we can do, then we'll be satisfied with our contributions. ... Every person makes a difference — for good or for ill."
— Carol Moseley Braun, ambassador, former U.S. Senator and recent candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for president, speaking at Penn State Altoona last night (Feb. 18). Mosley-Braun's speech detailed how people have helped this country achieve its potential, with some anonymous and some well-known. She drew much of her inspiration from Martin Luther King Jr., mentioning a number of his inspirational quotes throughout the lecture.
