I want to understand how best to create and preserve a form of higher education that we value but that is in jeopardy for many reasons.

Anything that is worth teaching can be presented in many different ways. These multiple ways can make use of our multiple intelligences.

It's not how smart you are that matters, what really counts is how you are smart.

You learn at your best when you have something you care about and can get pleasure in being engaged in.

The Goal of Education is to Help People Use Their Minds Better

If you are not prepared to resign or be fired for what you believe in, then you are not a worker, let alone a professional. You are a slave.

Intelligence is the ability to find and solve problems and create products of value in one's own culture.

Kids make their mark in life by doing what they can do, not what they can't... School is important, but life is more important. Being happy is using your skills productively, no matter what they are.

All human beings have all of the intelligences. But we differ, for both genetic and experiential reasons, in our profile of intelligences at any moment.

Teachers must be encouraged - I almost said 'freed', to pursue an education that strives for depth of understanding.

Stories are the single most powerful tool in a leader's toolkit.

When we neglect knowledge, we have indirectly rejected light.

Sacred being is a beautiful soul.

You stuttered like a kaleidoscope, because you knew too many words.

The word indulgent has become a popular catchphrase for dishes we should not eat for health's sake. I never use it to describe food, only poor parenting.

Within the whispers of love, I found my heart. Within a glimmer from a ray, I found my soul. Within both, I found myself.

We should conceive of ourselves not as rulers of Earth, but as highly powerful, conscious stewards: The Earth is given to us in trust, and we can screw it up or make it work well and sustainably.

We are different people - you get a different take on the band whoever you speak to. Somehow, at the end of it, it goes through the filtering process and out comes the Radiohead thing.

We need not just one flash of light and comfort, but we need the continuing blessing of communication with God.

We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the earth as brothers and sisters

I love Australia. I mean it's, how can you not? It's an incredibly beautiful country. I like the people, I like the country, I love it. I mean it's wonderful.
