If You give Us a Penny We Will give You Change...

The Penny Institute was created to help all citizens of this nation. The term "Penny" was chosen simply because everybody has one - from Bill Gates to the guy on your corner. Just like everybody has a penny everybody has a place in politics and a place in this country. Below, you will find some quotes that inspire me to serve.


"Everybody can be great because anybody can serve."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Just because we cannot do everything for everyone does not mean we should do nothing for anyone."
-- Bill Clinton

"Nothing worth gaining is ever gained without effort. The people who say that they have no time to attend to politics are simply saying that they are unfit to live in a free community."
-- Theodore Roosevelt

"The better educated our citizens are, the better equipped they will be to preserve the system of government we have. And we have to start with the education of our nation's young people. Knowledge about our government is not handed down through the gene pool. Every generation has to learn it, and we have some work to do."
--Sandra Day O'Connor, the former Supreme Court justice

"Government is the people's business and every man, woman and child becomes a shareholder with the first penny of tax paid."
--Ronald Reagan
