Danh ngôn của Paul Wellstone (Sứ mệnh: 4)

There are three critical ingredients to democratic renewal and progressive change in America: good public policy, grassroots organizing and electoral politics.
A politics that is not sensitive to the concerns and circumstances of people's lives, a politics that does not speak to and include people, is an intellectually arrogant politics that deserves to fail.
Education and democracy have the same goal: the fullest possible development of human capabilities.
I emphasize self-esteem, self-confidence, and dignity, not as an ideal, but as a real test of community organization. Without leadership development, community organizations do not have staying power.
I saw as a teacher how, if you take that spark of learning that those children have, and you ignite it, you can take a child from any background to a lifetime of creativity and accomplishment.
If a teacher does not involve himself, his values, his commitments, in the course of discussion, why should the students?
Politics is about the improvement of people's lives. It's about advancing the cause of peace and justice in our country and the world. Politics is about doing well for the people.
Politics is not about power.
Politics is not about winning for the sake of winning.
Politics is not predictions and politics is not observations. Politics is what we do. Politics is what we do, politics is what we create, by what we work for, by what we hope for and what we dare to imagine.
Sometimes, the only realists are the dreamers.
The future will belong to those who have passion and are willing to work hard to make our country better.
Politics isn't about big money or power games; it's about the improvement of people's lives.
