Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot Quotes:
Ocupation: Professor
Life: b. 1944
It was much later that I realized Dad's secret. He gained respect by giving it. He talked and listened to the fourth-grade kids in Spring Valley who shined shoes the same way he talked and listened to a bishop or a college president. He was seriously interested in who you were and what you had to say.
