True Public Servants Sacrifice...Stephanie Rawlings-Blake

You have to learn to work with people to get things done. That requires sacrifice, humility and understanding. True public servants sacrifice; people see the outward glory but they don’t know your story.”

--Stephanie Rawlings Blake, Mayor of Baltimore (2010-- )

The World Needs You...Cory Booker

“Go out there and swear to this world your oath, not with your words, but with what you do. Not with your hand over your heart, but with your hand outstretched to a world that desperately needs your hand, your help, your insights, your creativity, your honor, your courage. It needs you.” 

--Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark

First Lady Michelle Obama on...Public Service

"And in my own life, in my own small way, I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. Because I believe that each of us - no matter what our age or background or walk of life - each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation." --Mrs Michelle Obama, First Lady of the United States of America
