Continue to share your heart with people even if it's been broken. Don't treat your heart like an action figure wrapped in plastic and never used.

Just hold on and keep loving what you love. And you'll see, in the end, they will let you stay.

The world is run by those who show up, not those who wait to be asked.

Innovation comes from those who see things that others don't. Be persistent. Never give up.

It's your curiosity and enthusiasm that will get you noticed and make your life interesting—not your grade point average.

Fear or faith, which will be our master? Fear is whispered in our ears and shouted in our faces. Faith must be fostered by the man or woman you see every day in the mirror.

At least I get to pursue what I want. That's something not to take for granted—the actual pursuit of happiness.

Your degree will be good for something, just maybe not what you thought originally. If you're open to it, sometimes life presents you with what you're supposed to be.

I believe that education is the civil rights issue of our generation, and we must strive to make equality in education a reality, not just a theory.

You have so much power, so much opportunity. Make sure this education, this amazing gift, doesn't go to waste.

To create in those waters, we must have more than an optimist's escapism. Today, to create is to hope. To create is to live.

The World that Ought to Be is that which is already embedded in our senses. God's hand touches us, even through the cold earth of death and despair.
