"I can accept failure. Everyone fails
at something. But I can't accept not trying."

"We,
the people." It is a very eloquent beginning. But when that document
[the Preamble to the US Constitution] was completed on the seventeenth
of September in 1787 I was not included in that "We, the people." I
felt somehow for many years that George Washington and Alexander
Hamilton, just left me out by mistake. But through the process of
amendment, interpretation and court decision I have finally been
included in "We, the people."
Barbara C. Jordan
(1936-1996)
statement made before the House Committee on the Judiciary, July 25,
1974
