No other investment yields as great a return as the investment in education. An educated workforce is the foundation of every community and the future of every economy.

The community in which you choose to live, indeed, can be an oasis of comfort in the midst of a maddeningly impersonal world.

Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.

The only thing holding us back is ourselves.

Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard, and there is nothing you cannot accomplish.

For only by nurturing the minds and strengthening the values of our children can we give them an opportunity to be full, productive citizens, to reach their God-given potential, and to have good jobs right here in Oklahoma.

The worst thing we can do is to do nothing.

Let us be bold. Let us be brave. Let us be together.

It is only through raising expectations and striving for excellence that our children can reach their full potential.
