We never had to look far for role models; they were our grandparents, mothers,
fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins and neighbors.
-Leslie Caroline
Each of us, famous or infamous, is a role model for somebody, and if we
aren't, we should behave as though we are—cheerful, kind, loving, courteous.
Because you can be sure someone is watching and taking deliberate and diligent
notes.
-Maya Angelou
