In my family there was one cardinal priority - education. College was not an option it was mandatory. So even though we didn't have a lot of money we made it work. I signed up for financial aid Pell Grants work study anything I could.

Pell Grants are and have been critically important tools in making higher education a possibility for lower- and middle-income students.

Education is important because first of all people need to know that discrimination still exists. It is still real in the workplace and we should not take that for granted.

Music - that's been my education. There's not a day that goes by that I take it for granted.

I part of this great nation because my grandfather was born here in Cincinnati Ohio. He took a horse back in 1895 and ride it all the way down to Guanajuato looking for his American dream. No penny in his pocket only dreams in his head. And he was an immigrant coming from the States into Mexico. And he found his American dream in Mexico.

When all of your wishes are granted many of your dreams will be destroyed.

We want people to realize you are at a design school not a land grant college. The way we look says a great deal about who we are.

Fear not and the God of mercies grant a full gale and a fair entry into His kingdom which may carry sweetly and swiftly over the bar that you find not the rub of death.

I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

The culture is going into a psychological depression. We are concerned about our place in the world about being competitive: Will my children have as much as I have? Will I ever own my own home? How can I pay for a new car? Are immigrants taking away my white world?

Patience is the most necessary quality for business many a man would rather you heard his story than grant his request.

Our worldly successes cannot be guaranteed but our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us thanks to the grace of God. The best advice I know is to give is to give those worldly things your best but never your all - reserve the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it.

A person however learned and qualified in his life's work in whom gratitude is absent is devoid of that beauty of character which makes personality fragrant.

The U.S. tries to provide immigrants who grow up here with a world-class education and imbue them with the can-do attitude that has long defined American innovation.

Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.

Your talent is your art. It is not to be taken for granted.

The anger that Uncle Junior has comes from my background. My father was the son of an Italian immigrant and I've seen the fire of the Italian temperament. It can be explosive sometimes in ways that are both funny and tragic.

My public image is so low-key but I get to travel the world and still have an audience and it's really amazing. I don't take that for granted.

The only way to get gay issues off the front pages of Canadian newspapers is to grant gay and lesbian people our full civil equality and leave it alone.

The progress of evolution from President Washington to President Grant was alone evidence to upset Darwin.

Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.
