Quotes

  • “We have the power to make the world we seek, but only if we have the courage to make a new beginning.”
  • “We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent.”
  • “A highly-educated and skilled workforce will be the key not only to individual opportunity, but to the overall success of our economy as well. We cannot be satisfied until every child in America—and I mean every child—has the same chances for a good education that we want for our own children.”
  • “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.”
  • “We know that education is everything to our children’s future. We know that they will no longer just compete for good jobs with children from Indiana, but children from India and China and all over the world. We know the work and the studying and the level of education that requires.”
— Barack Obama
