Sargent Shriver
Serve, serve, serve. Because in the end, it will be the servants who save us all.
Sargent Shriver
The roots of racism lie deep in man's nature, wounded and bruised by original sin.

The Peace Corps represents some, if not all, of the best virtues in this society. It stands for everything that America has ever stood for. It stands for everything we believe in and hope to achieve in the world.
