Kathleen Wynne and her band of radical-left cronies think they have a handle on what constitutes human identity and also what should constitute human morality. And I think that that’s being pushed in a manner in schools that’s completely reprehensible. It’s not education, in my estimation. It’s a form of indoctrination.

I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.

Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.

One of the roles of the Presidency is to lead a political party. Having a President in office is usually a huge advantage to a party because it gives the party a mouthpiece and an advocate at the highest level.

You can’t learn to write in college. It’s a very bad place for writers because the teachers always think they know more than you do – and they don’t. They have prejudices. They may like Henry James, but what if you don’t want to write like Henry James? They may like John Irving, for instance, who’s the bore of all time.

In poor countries, we still need better ways to measure the effectiveness of the many government workers providing health services. They are the crucial link bringing tools such as vaccines and education to the people who need them most. How well trained are they? Are they showing up to work?

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

Why not whip the teacher when the pupil misbehaves?

Putin goes to bed at night knowing he can break all the rules, and the West will follow all the rules.

Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber, and future of an individual. If the people remember me as a good teacher, that will be the biggest honour for me.

I know Gov. Christie. We’ve met a couple of times.

Even if the politics needed doesn’t exist today, we still need to use our voices to make sure that the people in power are focused on the right things. Because this is a democracy, and in a democracy, people are the ones who run the country.

You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

You can’t just have slogans, you can’t just have catchy phrases. You have to have an agenda. And I think what the Republican Party has to do, if it’s going to incorporate the tea party efforts in it, is to come up with an agenda that the American people can see, touch, and actually believe in, and something they believe in.

Everybody who makes any kind of policy needs to substitute teach. But you’ve got to be a real teacher. You can’t just go to a couple of classes with the regular teacher there. It is an incredibly hard job.

I was a little worried that young people would think the only game was being political and manipulative when really the bigger game is being so good at what you do that nobody can argue with your results.

Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face.

Patriotism, when it wants to make itself felt in the domain of learning, is a dirty fellow who should be thrown out of doors.

America’s experience, like many others, teaches us that fostering entrepreneurship is not just about crafting the right economic policy or developing the best educated curricula. It’s about creating an entire climate in which innovation and ideas flourish.

My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.

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

Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it.

You know, nothing is more important than education, because nowhere are our stakes higher; our future depends on the quality of education of our children today.

If you’re sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign.

Assassination is the extreme form of censorship.

It is important that the United States remain a two-party system. I’m a fellow who likes small parties and the Republican Party can’t be too small to suit me.

Politicians love regulating. That’s part of the whole power structure.

Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.

The first time you say something, it’s heard. The second time, it’s recognized, and the third time it’s learned.

Well, when you come down to it, I don’t see that a reporter could do much to a president, do you?

I went to a public school through sixth grade, and being good at tests wasn’t cool.

I go to school the youth to learn the future.

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

The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.

In my country we go to prison first and then become President.

In politics… never retreat, never retract… never admit a mistake.

I’m not a conservative of any kind.

I was a sociology major. And it had nothing to do necessarily with law, which is ultimately – I went to law school. But what I tried to do was choose something that I was passionate about or something that I cared about.

The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.

For good nurture and education implant good constitutions.

If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?

Lectures should go from being like the family singing around the piano to high-quality concerts.

I believe in singing to such an extent that, if I were asked to redesign the British educational system, I would start by insisting that group singing becomes a central part of the daily routine. I believe it builds character and, more than anything else, encourages a taste for cooperation with others.

I know what it feels like to struggle to get the education that you need.

No part of the education of a politician is more indispensable than the fighting of elections.

Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.

You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.

In my opinion eight years as president is enough and sometimes too much for any man to serve in that capacity.

I believe we can continue the Great Society while we fight in Vietnam.

The more you observe politics, the more you’ve got to admit that each party is worse than the other.

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.

Capitalism has worked very well. Anyone who wants to move to North Korea is welcome.

How can a president not be an actor?

Loyalty to the Nation all the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it.

Creationists make it sound as though a ‚theory‘ is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night.

In K-12, almost everybody goes to local schools. Universities are a bit different because kids actually do pick the university. The bizarre thing, though, is that the merit of university is actually how good the students going in are: the SAT scores of the kids going in.

Even to observe neutrality you must have a strong government.

Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the – he said in the first 100 days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules – unchain Wall Street. They’re gonna put y’all back in chains.

The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.

I think America has always been polarized.

Learned Institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw that light over the public mind which is the best security against crafty and dangerous encroachments on the public liberty.
