Elizabeth Edwards, author and attorney, wife of presidential candidate John Edwards:

"I ask you to live deliberately…What we do and how we do it does define us.

Each of us just needs a story—a story worth telling, a story worth living. A story of a life that in some small measure matters…With each thing you do—and each thing you decide not to do— you write that story.

You don’t have to lead a great movement to make an impact. In fact, most of us won’t…In small ways every day you can make a difference [by taking time] to shower the people around you—friends and strangers—with kindness."
