Many of the snarly bad-tempered teachers whom we remember with hatred were really nice people soured by years of anxiety and penny-pinching.

What is politics but persuading the public to vote for this and support that and endure these for the promise of those?

Many people have played themselves to death. Many people have eaten and drunk themselves to death. Nobody ever thought himself to death.

Wherever there are beginners and experts, old and young, there is some kind of learning going on, some kind of teaching. We are all pupils and we are all teachers.

A very wise old teacher once said: I consider a day's teaching wasted if we do not all have one hearty laugh.

We look upon this shaken earth, and we declare our firm and fixed purpose - the building of a peace with justice in a world where moral law prevails.

If you have a problem where you have just poverty, long-term insurance benefits for an emergency aren't going to solve that either. You have got to fix the social safety net.

Information is just signs and numbers, while knowledge involves their meaning. What we want is knowledge, but what we get is information.

Isn't it strange -- when you're single, all you see is couples, and when you're part of a couple, all you see are hookers.

If you don't turn on to politics, politics will turn on you.
