"For me, civic education is the key to inspiring kids to want to stay involved in making a difference." -Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor, U.S. Supreme Court
"Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected. A primary [goal] should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing… than … communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?” - George Washington
"If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." - Plato
“So, let us not be blind to our differences--but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved.

And we are all mortal.” –President John F. Kennedy
