“I am dedicating the majority of my wealth to improving education. It is the key to the survival of the human race. We have to plan for our collective future - and the first step begins with the social, emotional, and intellectual tools we provide to our children. As humans, our greatest tool for survival is our ability to think and to adapt - as educators, storytellers, and communicators our responsibility is to continue to do so.” ThinkingFirstsHumansChildrenSocialWealthAbilityRaceResponsibilityStepsPlansEmotionalKeysSurvivalIntellectualToolsOur ChildrenMajorityHuman RaceCollectivesFirst StepsImprovingStorytellerEducatorCommunicators Author:George Lucas
“The role of government has never been to plan every detail or dictate every outcome. At its best, government has simply knocked away barriers to opportunity and laid the foundation for a better future. Our people -- with all their drive and ingenuity -- always end up building the rest. And if we can do that again -- if we can continue building that foundation and making those hard decisions on behalf of the next generation -- I have no doubt that we will leave our children the America that we all hope for.” PeopleIfsChildrenEndsHardGovernmentAmericaNextOpportunityCan DoDecisionRolesDoubtPlansGenerationsBuildingOur ChildrenFoundationDetailsOutcomesNo DoubtBarriersBehalfNext GenerationIngenuityBetter FutureHard DecisionRole Of Government Author:Barack Obama

“When I was growing up, you were supposed to marry and therefore didn't plan ahead. Planning ahead is one of the few reliable measures of class in the sense that rich people plan for generations forward and poor people plan for Saturday night, and by that measure, women have been lower class. We were less likely to plan ahead because we're more likely to think that who we marry and our children are going to dictate our plans.” PeopleThinkingChildrenHas BeensNightPoorClassGrowing UpRichGrowingPlansGenerationsOur ChildrenPlanningSaturdayPoor PeopleRich PeopleSaturday NightLower ClassPlanning Ahead Author:Gloria Steinem

“The real questions for parents should be: "Are you engaged? Are you paying attention?" If so, plan to make lots of mistakes and bad decisions. Imperfect parenting moments turn into gifts as our children watch us try to figure out what went wrong and how we can do better next time. The mandate is not to be perfect and raise happy children.
