My Favorite Quotes

For a fresh start, I have decided to include one of my favorite aspects of my "other blog" (Project Pennywise) as part of the Fox Chronicles - Quotes. So, when I have nothing interesting to talk about, I will just throw in one of my favorite quotes or maybe a recipe (and do I have some good ones for the upcoming winter season!) But for today, a favorite (and relevant) quote:

Democracy is…the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people.
— Harry Emerson Fosdick

While we were disappointed in the amount of negativity in the 2008 election, we were also overwhelmed by the renewed sense of obligation and privilege the American voters felt while waiting (sometimes hours) in line to cast their ballot for new leaders of this country. They came to the polls in record numbers, knocked on neighbors' doors, and called supporters, each with the feeling that they, a single, ordinary person, could truly make a difference.
