The first step toward success will be the biggest one.

Happiness, wealth, and success are the byproducts of goal setting; they cannot be the goals themselves.

The real risk is doing nothing.

Happiness cannot be travel to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

Men may be born free; they cannot be born wise; and it is the duty of the university to make the free wise.

An educated person, I think, is one who not only knows a lot, but knows how to do a lot of things.

Learn something new every day.

Do not neglect your life skills, which should include a healthy dose of financial education.

Women who earn a certificate or degree from a community college, especially in STEM-related field, will be ready to move into a good-paying job in the growing global economy. Community colleges also offer mentorship and support that goes far beyond the classroom.

Let us not think of education only in terms of its costs, but rather in terms of the infinite potential of the human mind that can be realized through education. Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.

I don’t give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.

I’ve seen with my own students, community colleges offer an affordable route to four-year college degrees and good paying jobs.

You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past – whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.

We seldom suffer from taking our subject of study too seriously, but we usually suffer when we take ourselves too seriously.

In our culture and in culture sometimes they make you feel a little be weird for being smart… but we are intelligent people and our dreams matter regardless of if you speak with an accent and people think that that makes you not intelligent.

Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.

In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity – it is a prerequisite.

As precious as knowledge itself is the learning. As precious as any reward is the earning.

Education can’t focus only on developing our wonderful brain. We also need warm-heartedness. This is my view.
