You can pay people to teach, But you can't pay them to care.

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.

Once children learn how to learn, nothing is going to narrow their mind. The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another.

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.

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

There isn't a certain time we should set aside to talk about God. God is part of our every waking moment

Success doesn't come to you, you go to it.
