We have an obligation and a responsibility

We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will,

but not the money, can still get the best education possible

I like nonsense

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do,
And that enables you to laugh at life's realities

Making Money

Pretty much, Apple and Dell are the only ones in this industry making money. They make it by being Wal-Mart.
We make it by innovation.

It took a lot of blood

It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.

We are not myths of the past

We are not myths of the past,
ruins in the jungle, or zoos. We are people and we want to be respected

not to be victims of intolerance and racism

During my lifetime

During my lifetime
I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people, I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if it needs be it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.

An eye for eye

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
Gandhi

From error to error, one discovers the entire truth.

Sometimes risk taking

Sometimes risk taking may involve the most simple of acts.
Yet we often whip up a bag full of excuses to avoid taking action. For goodness sake (literally), let's step beyond our security bubbles and start reaching out to those who cross our path.

The road to happiness

The road to happiness lies in two simple principles; find what interests you and that you can do well, and put your whole soul into it -
every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have

Obstacles in Life

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin — real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin.

At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

We grow great by dreams

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
