We've been brainwashed into thinking that it takes more monies than it actually does to educate children. That's been one of the brainwash jobs.

None of you has ever failed. School may have failed you. Goodbye to failure, children. Welcome to success.

One of the things that even wealthy children need is an education, and I think the problems I saw really have nothing to do with economics. So I was unhappy with what my own children were getting even in the better schools, and then I was seeing so many children here recruited for failure.

Death cannot put the brakes on a good dream.

Excellence is not an act but a habit. The things you do the most are the things you will do best.

I cannot change the world, but I do not have to conform.

I don't have to be accountable to some authority, which is why I don't take federal funds. I don't want anyone's monies unless they're monies without strings attached. It's not that we don't need them.
