I give the children education.

The educated Southerner has no use for an ‚r‘, except at the beginning of a word.

Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it.

Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They’re both important and schools are forgetting one of them.

A man is more frank and sincere with his emotions than a woman. We girls, I’m afraid, have a tendency to hide our feelings.

I wish I could shut up, but I can’t, and I won’t.

I believe that in the pursuit of education, individual desire is more influential than institution, and personal faith more forceful than faculty.

Silence is the mother of truth.

I have enjoyed great satisfaction from my climb of Everest and my trips to the poles. But there’s no doubt that my most worthwhile things have been the building of schools and medical clinics.

We don’t get to know people when they come to us; we must go to them to find out what they are like.

Our most tragic error may have been our inability to establish a rapport and a confidence with the press and television with the communication media. I don’t think the press has understood me.

Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.

Communication is a skill that you can learn. It’s like riding a bicycle or typing. If you’re willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of evry part of your life.

The issues a president faces are not black and white, and cannot be boiled down into 140 characters. Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military at your command, you can’t make snap decisions. You can’t have a thin skin or the tendency to lash out.

The only way I hear gossip is if it’s big enough and loud enough for my friends to bring it up to me. Or if it’s, like, a big untrue ordeal from my publicist – and she hates making that phone call!

It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.

Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.

All slang is metaphor, and all metaphor is poetry.

Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can have some conversation.

Frankly, I think that the news industry is critically important because it points out things and surfaces truths that can often be uncomfortable. I think that that’s working, and the spotlight has been pointed on things that we have a responsibility to do better, and I accept that.

All the learnin‘ my father paid for was a bit o‘ birch at one end and an alphabet at the other.

There is one way to have a short but exciting conversation with me, and that is to move too slow.
