We need to have faith in the future to make sense of the present.

We should see schools as safe arenas for experimenting with life, for discovering our talents... for taking responsibity for tasks and others people, for learning how to learn... and for exploring our beliefs about life and society.

You have to stand outside the box to see how the box can be re-designed.

We cannot wait for great visions from great people, for they are in short supply. It is up to us to light our own small fires in the darkness.

Forget land, buildings, or machines-the real source of wealth today is intelligence, applied intelligence. We talk glibly of "intellectual property" without taking on board what it really means. It isn't just patent rights and brand names; it is the brains of the place.

Why don't we teach our children in school what they are? We should say to them, 'You are unique... you have the capacity for anything. You are a marvel'.

The sobering thought is that individuals and societies are not, in the end, remembered for how they made their money, but for how they spent it.
