If you're afraid to be wrong you'll never do anything creative.

Creativity is as important as literacy and numeracy, and I actually think people understand that creativity is important - they just don't understand what it is.

The answer is not to standardize education, but to personalize and customize it to the needs of each child and community. There is no alternative. There never was.

Most great learning happens in groups. Collaboration is the stuff of growth.

Very many people go through their whole lives having no real sense of what their talents may be, or if they have any to speak of.

You can be creative in anything - in math, science, engineering, philosophy - as much as you can in music or in painting or in dance.

Our task is to educate our children's whole being so they can face the future and make something of it. To achieve this we need to balance education for careers with education for twenty-first century life.
