Help me choose my graduation cap quote!
I am graduating next weekend with an MPS in Political Management from George Washington University. Political management deals with campaigns, elections, advocacy, and activism, and I personally do my work in domestic (American) politics.
This was what I did for my undergrad cap:
[ID: A black graduation cap held in a white person's left hand. The cap is positioned so it appears as a diamond rather than a square. The word "Quinnipiac" is written in blue up the top left border and the words "political science" are written in yellow down the top right border. The number 20 is in the top corner with a blue 2 and yellow 0. The quote "None of us are free until all of us are free" takes up the majority of the middle of the cap. "None of us" and "all of us" are written in black letters on a red background and the other words are in white letters on the normal black background. In the bottom corner, the following five symbols are painted: a blue handicapped symbol, a blue, white, and pink transgender/gender inclusivity symbol, a rainbow flag, a black and white fist, and a red palm print, representing the disabled, transgender, queer, black, and indigenous communities respectively. End ID.]
So with that context! What should I put on my cap this year?
1: "The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river." - Ross Perot
2: "Politics is the art of the possible." - Otto von Bismarck
3: "Solidarity is the basis of my politics." - Douglas Alexander
4: "Politics is a noble activity. We should revalue it, practice it with vocation and a dedication that requires testimony, martyrdom, that is to die for the common good." - Pope Francis
5: "Our obligation to the people we serve is too important to place politics and partisanship before progress and results." - Charlie Baker
6: "Public service is a most honorable pursuit, and so is bipartisanship." - Olympia Snowe
7: "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." - Theodore Roosevelt
8: "Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort." - FDR
9: "Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education." - FDR
Pick one!

Please reblog for wider reach! The duration is set to a week but I'm calling it on Friday so I have time to actually make the cap.
