“America is the land of opportunity mostly because it applauds the achievements of the individual.”
Thomas J. Powell
“I love capitalism...only in the United States can a poor kid with everything going against him or her make it to the highest point of achievement.”
“We have to make the change in the world for tomorrow, and we have to do it today. We can’t wait for the government to fix it, we can’t wait for others to take the opportunities, it is up to us to act– today with leadership – to remember all that have, all that we are, and all that we can be.”
“Education does not end at any point in our lives; it is an ongoing journey to be carried with us everyday throughout our lives.”
“These are extremely trying times for our country. The recovery is going to be led by us via our private capital and our private enterprise. The government does not have a weapon in its repertoire that comes close to matching the power of our collective private resources.”
“The important things often are are the everyday things.”
“When you reset your mindset, you will be amazed that while nothing has changed, everything has changed.”
