A government is invigorated when each of us is willing to participate in shaping the future of this nation. – Barbara Jordan

We are a party of innovation. We do not reject our traditions, but we are willing to adapt to changing circumstances, when change we must. We are willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future. – Barbara Jordan

We are a people in a quandary about the present. We are a people in search of our future. We are a people in search of a national community. – Barbara Jordan
