Robert N.C. Nix Jr., the first Black Pennsylvania Supreme Court Chief Justice

I trust that an event like this will inspire them to know they can be whatever they want to be....

Provided they're willing to give the effort and make the sacrifice necessary to accomplish that objective

Be prepared, be sharp, be careful and use the King's English well.

And you can forget all the other rules

Unless you remember one more: get paid!
