I should like to suggest to you that the cause of all the economic troubles is that we have an economic system which tries to maintain an equality of value between two things which it would be better to recognise from the beginning as of unequal value.

I believe there is complete equality between men and women. And I believe those passages in the New Testament not by Jesus but by Paul that say women should not adorn themselves they should always wear hats or color their hair in church - things like that - I think they are signs of the times and should not apply to modern-day life.

Equality is not in regarding different things similarly equality is in regarding different things differently.

One of the things about equality is not just that you be treated equally to a man but that you treat yourself equally to the way you treat a man.

Address these environmental issues and you will address every issue known to man. And we keep dabbling in things that aren't really that important in the long term.

And I know that the younger generation is doing things that are so ingenious. And for them it's not a matter of a political belief or an environmental stance. It's really just common sense.

I decided that now is the time to start doing the things that really interest me and I find important. It was in the 10 years of the MacArthur grant that I began working on my first book... and I began putting more work into environmental history.

Civilization has given us enormous successes: going to the moon technology. But then this is the civilisation that took us to debt environmental crisis every single crisis. We need a civilization where we say goodbye to these things.

One of the things that I've always thought I would like to do is to develop an environmental index. Then people can measure their own environmental performance on an index as they do in other ways.

I know there are things I did in education that will never be reversed. I have not done that in film yet because I have only been here for about nine months.

We have been learning since we were children how to make money buy things build things. The whole education system is set up to teach us how to think not to feel.

And my career the things that have happened have happened because of my music education background.

As a former high school teacher I know that investing in education is one of the most important things we can do not only for our children but for the benefit of our whole community.

Few things are more important to each individual's future success or to our nation's prosperity than education.

There is no war on women. Women are doing well. But women are thoughtful. And what we in the Republican Party and across the country Republican Independents and Democrat women say is we're more thoughtful than a label. We care about jobs and the economy and healthcare and education. We care about a lot of different things.

You can't stand for too many things. You can't use the bully pulpit for too many things. So I promise you every day I am going to talk about jobs spending and education.

At any rate girls are differently situated. Having no need of deep scientific knowledge their education is confined more to the ordinary things of the world the study of the fine arts and of the manners and dispositions of people.

In fact I believe that we need better sex education in our own culture here in America so that young folk learn about things like venereal disease before they encounter it.

We have over 500 000 illegal immigrants living in Arizona. And we simply cannot sustain it. It costs us a tremendous amount of money of course in health care in education and then on top of it all in incarceration. And the federal government doesn't reimburse us on any of these things.

Official education was telling people almost nothing of the nature of all those things on the seashores and in the redwood forests in the deserts and in the plains.

Few things are as essential as education.

Access to books and the encouragement of the habit of reading: these two things are the first and most necessary steps in education and librarians teachers and parents all over the country know it. It is our children's right and it is also our best hope and their best hope for the future.

Some of the things I think I learned from that were very educational as far as just paying bills - the basics in dealing with a restaurant like that. It was just life - the education involved in running the organization even on a small level.

Is education possibly a process of trading awareness for things of lesser worth? The goose who trades his is soon a pile of feathers.
