The first task in teaching is to bring to consciousness what the students already believe by virtue of their personal experiences about themselves and society.

We must renew democracy itself. We have to fight cynicism and inertia and restore faith in the advancement of our country.

We all do better, when we all do better.

Politics is not predictions and politics is not observations. Politics is what we do. Politics is what we do, politics is what we create, by what we work for, by what we hope for and what we dare to imagine.

We're not going to have real security until we invest in our children.

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