"A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives." ― Jackie Robinson Topic(s): Life More From Jackie Robinson "I guess you’d call me an independent, since I’ve never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label." "I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me… All I ask is that you respect me as a human being." "Life is not a spectator sport. If you’re going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you’re wasting your life."

I only wish I’d realized it sooner."― Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
