Education and democracy have the same goal: the fullest possible development of human capabilities.

Politics is not about winning for the sake of winning.

I don't think politics has anything to do with left, right, or center. It has to do with trying to do right by people.

The best kind of politics is when you help people become their own best selves.

The future belongs to those who are passionate and work hard.

I was talking about no nukes, the farm crisis. People said that wasn't stuff that a state auditor was supposed to be talking about. Maybe they were right.

Politics isn't about big money or power games; it's about the improvement of people's lives.
