You must see your goals clearly and specifically before you can set out for them. Hold them in your mind until they become second nature.
Be a dreamer. Have a sense of greatness. It has been said that if you can dream it, you can do it. And I believe that. Before your dream can become a reality, you have to see it in your own mind; see its fulfillment, whatever it may be.
Difficult is a far cry from impossible. The distance between these two lies hope. Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Invite one to stay.
I love to read. I wish I could advise more people to read. There’s a whole new world in books. If you can’t afford to travel, you travel mentally through reading. You can see anything and go any place you want to in reading.
The benefits of studying abroad are almost endless.
It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.
History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.
Your education is a dress rehearsal for a life that is yours to lead.
All successful people have a goal. No one can get anywhere unless he knows where he wants to go and what he wants to be or do.
The most important investment of our time is in our people and in our youth.
Hurry up: your dreams are waiting for you, but they will not wait forever.
I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers, to become comfortable with a book, not daunted. Books shouldn’t be daunting, they should be funny, exciting and wonderful; and learning to be a reader gives a terrific advantage.
If you are going to get anywhere in life you have to read a lot of books.
Start small; Think possibilities; Reach beyond your known abilities; Invest all you have in your dream; Visualize miracles; Expect to experience success.
Education is more valuable than money, in the long run.
If you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? Carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.
I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there’s purpose and worth to each and every life.
Education is the food of youth, the delight of old age, the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity, and the provocation to grace in the soul.
You learn best by reading a lot and writing a lot, and the most valuable lessons of all are the ones you teach yourself.
The gift of knowledge is the highest gift in the world.
