My mother is a big believer in being responsible for your own happiness. She always talked about finding joy in small moments and insisted that we stop and take in the beauty of an ordinary day. When I stop the car to make my kids really see a sunset, I hear my mothers voice and smile. – Jennifer Garner
My mom was really vigorous about making sure that we saw things and that we questioned things. Education was so important to both of my parents. – Jennifer Garner
Im still really close with everyone at home and their parents – and their brothers and sisters. I was so, so, so lucky to grow up as part of a community and I dont take that for granted. I try very hard to stay part of it. – Jennifer Garner
My parents came from a poor background and worked their way up because of education. They saw it as a way to succeed. So they cared about me getting straight A grades when I was growing up. – Jennifer Garner
When the United States was founded, the very idea of a nation premised on democratic principles of freedom and tolerance was viewed by the vast majority of the world as an experiment doomed to fail. Dictatorships, monarchies, and theocracies had for many centuries ruled the world. – Eliot Spitzer
