This type of soul, this type of art takes a while to cook. It’s like when my wife cooks for me and I always ask for greens. She never wants to cook the greens because they take three hours to cook.

When I see people go at the President, why not try love, for one person to stand up against all odds and just hug somebody the way that Alice Johnson hugged her family when she got out of jail?.

I don’t want to put too many boxes on it because the work speaks louder than words.

Maybe I shouldn’t have these dreams and aspirations. Maybe I should have given up on life ten years ago and stopped fighting for my truth.

If there’s anything that I can do with my time and my day to somehow make a difference, while I’m alive, imma try to do it. Period.

A designer told me that my wife was a master of light and I was a master of time.

Studying in countries like China isn’t only about your prospects in the global marketplace. It’s not just about whether you can compete with your peers in other countries to make America stronger. It’s also about whether you can come together and work together with them to make our world stronger. It’s about the friendships you make, the bonds of trust you establish and the image of America that you project to the rest of the world.

One of the things that make community colleges so special is they do not pick and choose their students – they work with all students.

To learn, you have to listen. To improve, you have to try.

… because in the United States of America, no one should go broke because they chose to go to college.

You are your own teacher. Investigate yourself to find the truth – inside, not outside. Knowing yourself is most important.

It doesn’t hurt to get more education.

No task before our nation is more important than expanding and improving the educational opportunities of all our people. The concept that every American deserves the opportunity to attain the highest level of education of which he is capable is not new to this Administration – it is a traditional ideal of democracy. But it is time that we moved toward the fulfillment of this ideal with more vigor and less delay. For education is both the foundation and the unifying force of our democratic way of life – it is the mainspring of our economic and social progress – it is the highest expression of achievement in our society, ennobling and enriching human life. In short, it is at the same time the most profitable investment society can make and the richest reward it can offer.

Tomorrow’s illiterate will not be the man who can’t read, he will be the man who has not learned how to learn.

Very early it was noticed that I had a good memory; therefore I was insistently tormented with learning everything by heart.

You can’t learn in school what the world is going to do next year.

The function of the university is not simply to teach bread-winning, or to furnish teachers for the public schools or to be a centre of polite society; it is, above all, to be the organ of that fine adjustment between real life and the growing knowledge of life, an adjustment which forms the secret of civilization.

When girls are educated, their countries become stronger and more prosperous.
