We can't live true to our set of values unless American educational system is strong. I really believe that if we don't get that right we will not compete because we won't believe that our people can compete, and we'll turn inward. We won't lead. That will be bad for the world.
Condoleezza Rice
I believe our Presidents work hard and it's the loneliest job in the world.
