I love artists like Prince, who hold on to that element of mystery.

I go to school the youth to learn the future.

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

Working with our military community has been the biggest honor of my life.

I teach children to be winners.

I’m going to save my public voice largely for the issues where I have some depth.

At the age of 6, a teacher full of ambitions, who taught in the small public school of Biran, convinced my family that I should travel to Santiago de Cuba to accompany my older sister who would enter a highly prestigious convent school. Including me was a skill of that very teacher from the little school in Biran.

Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.

You don’t go to Notre Dame to learn something; you go to Notre Dame to be somebody.

Well, I have great respect for Senator Hirono.

After my first year of college, each course I took in every field was so boring that I didn’t even go to the classes.

Your friend is your needs answered.

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her – for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys.

I know that a large part of my fan base is gay. They’ve shown me love from the start. I mean in this industry, everyone from my glam people to my dancers are gay. You can’t be homophobic in this line of work – I’m a pop star!

I’d like to think I’m a great teacher.

The bulk of the universities are about teaching kids.

I love soccer, love tennis… Roger Federer has been a favourite for a long, long time. The kind of consistency he has shown, 16 Grand Slam titles… The way he handles himself in pressure situations is admirable… He is so calm… In soccer, I’m a huge fan of Barcelona… I like watching Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and David Villa.

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

Whether you want to go into music, whether you want to be a lawyer, whether you want to be President of the United States, the bottom line for all of you is that you have got to get your education.

Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.

I met India Arie, who is one of my favorite artists of all time. It was really sweet; I was broken up with a month before, and she stayed up texting me all night and was helping me through it. Her text message looks like a song of hers. She’s sort of become my fairy godmother.

I have been aware all the time that my peoples, spread far and wide throughout every continent and ocean in the world, were united to support me in the task to which I have now been dedicated with such solemnity.

You may be able to read Bernard Shaw’s plays, you may be able to quote Shakespeare or Voltaire or some new philosopher; but if you in yourself are not intelligent, if you are not creative, what is the point of this education?

The notion that we have even one single veteran living on the streets should be just considered a travesty to all of us.

As I’ve said, there were patriots who supported this war, and patriots who opposed it. And all of us are united in appreciation for our servicemen and women, and our hopes for Iraqis‘ future.

If I inspire you, pay for it, period.

Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.

I’m turned on by guys who are cultured. That’ll keep me intrigued. They don’t have to have a single degree, but they should speak other languages or know things about other parts of the world or history or certain artists or musicians. I like to be taught. I like to sit on that side of the table.

The important thing is that your teammates have to know you’re pulling for them and you really want them to be successful.

Education is what you learn after you leave school.
