What I call my ‚self‘ now is hardly a person at all.

The Scoutmaster teaches boys to play the game by doing so himself.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

I want parents to teach that academic intelligence is essential, but so is financial intelligence.

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.

When I was young I didn’t care about education, just money and box office.
