Education is the foundation upon which we build our future.

It's our responsibility to pass on what we inherited, not to squander it, but to build on it.

Education exposes young people to a broader world, a world full of opportunity and hope.

We need to take advantage of the opportunity we have now to create a vision and become great.

I will never be able to create a budget from scratch with the amount of time that I have, but my instructions remain the same: Give me a budget that has no new revenue.

One of the most powerful tools for empowering individuals and communities is making certain that any individual who wants to receive a quality education can do so.

If we want unity, we must all be unifiers. If we want accountability, each of us must be accountable for all we do.
