"No one is born a good citizen; no nation is born a democracy. Rather, both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts off from its youth severs its lifeline."
-- Kofi Annan

"It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen."
-- Aristotle (384-322 BC)

...ordinary men and women may often feel unmotivated to exert their citizenship, either because they cannot tell the difference between the different alternatives, or because they have lost faith in the political classes, or because they feel that the really important issues are not in their power to decide.
-- Patricio Aylwin Azócar

"Man is at the bottom an animal, midway, a citizen, and at the top, divine. But the climate of this world is such that few ripen at the top."
-- Henry Ward Beecher

The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their government.
-- William E. Borah

"Citizenship comes first today in our crowded world...No man can enjoy the privileges of education and thereafter with a clear conscience break his contract with society. To respect that contract is to be mature, to strengthen it is to be a good citizen, to do more than your share under it is noble."
-- Isaiah Bowman

"The most important office... that of private citizen."
Justice Louis D. Brandeis

"The only title in our democracy superior to that of President is the title of citizen."
Justice Louis D. Brandeis

"...we all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations.”
~ Blythe Danner

"I have no country to fight for: my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world."
-- Eugene V. Debs


"I realized that public affairs were also my affairs. I became active in politics because I saw the possibility, if we all sat back and did nothing, of a world in which there would no longer be any stages for actors to act on."
-- Helen Gahagan Douglas (1900-1980)

A Down to Earth Story

There are many inspiring citizens who will not be included in the history books. Yet their stories are just as inspiring and just as important.

Meet Angela Ward. An army wife and mother of an autistic son. Despite suffering six strokes and having immense responsibility caring for her son, she is attending Kaplan University to get her PhD in criminal justice and is working towards a position with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. What does she say about it all?

"What better way than to give back to those that fight for my freedom to be who I am and all the luxuries that we all take for granted every day, including my degree?"
-- Angela Ward
