Competition is such a virtue, and everybody's so busy competing, they have no time for compassion.

The first place to start is on enforcement. We who got the ADA passed did the hard part, the heavy lifting.

We need to get ready for a world where terrorism will not ever fully go away.

Excitement in education and student productivity, the ability to get a result that you want from students, go together and cannot be separated.

Therefore, you are not training young people for the world of today and the world of tomorrow unless you are doing proven technology training. That is one of the reasons I'm so concerned.

I would like to spend my next two years showing how the aim of making technology available to every young person can be built into the effort to make our nation more secure. That is my latest concern and what I will be pushing over the next two years.

I have a great deal of respect and admiration for people who put themselves on the line.
