We always reference kids but very rarely ask their opinion. Our inexperience might be what gives us the ability to teach our elders something, due to the fact that we are not jaded or cynical.

The point of my work is to make it clear that all youth can make 'big miracles' happen.

History is made every day. The challenge is getting everyone to pay attention to it.

Hoping to instill my love of learning in other children, I taught my first class at a local elementary school the year my first book, 'Flying Fingers,' debuted; since then, I have spoken at hundreds of schools, classrooms and conferences around the world.

Let's abolish the term 'childish' because adults normally cause the largest problems.

A lot of negative words adults call the young, like 'naive,' 'impulsive' and 'way too connected online,' are all things we can turn into strengths to help us.

Mostly, I avoid worrying since the time spent doing it could be spent more constructively.
