"Education is the mother of leadership"

"Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible"

"What a mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin"

"One of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency"

"Education is a private matter between the person and the world of knowledge and experience, and has little to do with school or college"

"Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten"

"The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows"

"Character matters; leadership descends from character"

"Hope... is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles"

"Children that are raised in a home with a married mother and father consistently do better in every measure of well-being than their peers who come from divorced or step-parent, single-parent, cohabiting homes"

"Diligence is the mother of good luck"
