He thought of all the living species that train their young in the art of survival, the cats who teach their kittens to hunt, the birds who spend such strident efforts on teaching their fledglings to fly - yet man, whose tool of survival is the mind, does not merely fail to teach a child to think, but devotes the child's education to the purpose of destroying his brain, of convincing him that thought is futile and evil, before he has started to think ... Men would shudder, he thought, if they saw a mother bird plucking the feathers from the wings of her young, then pushing him out of the nest to struggle for survival - yet that was what they did to their children.

[The charity golf tournament raises money for the Dan Quayle Center and Museum in Huntington. As today's participants signed in, the flag at the Orchard Ridge County Club waved at half-staff to honor the memory of both Judge William Rehnquist, and the victims of Hurricane Katrina, a storm which has affected Quayle personally.] My daughter and her husband live in New Orleans and they've been staying with us for the last week, ... It's been a roller coaster. They haven't been able to return to New Orleans, they don't know when they'll be able to go back. My daughter runs charter schools down there. When she goes back, she doesn't even know if she's gonna have a job.

Dan Quayle (1947-1947)

Dan Quayle

It hasn't been frustrating in a sense that it's going to take me away from what I'm trying to do. It hasn't been frustrating that it's going to drive me into a wall or something. The thing that bothered me was the fact that there's 52 other guys out here who are trying to make something happen with this team, trying to make an impact. When they see everything going back and forth, hearing this or seeing that, the kind of worries you have is how is the team going to react? That was something I was trying to nip in the bud. I wanted to make sure everybody was on the same wavelength, everybody was on the same page. That's what leaders do, that's what quarterbacks do.

I've learned to not take media criticism personally, ... Seven or eight years ago, I would have said 'I hate the media; there are people in it who are always bashing me.' Now I understand that, when someone writes something negative about me, it's part of the game. Media criticism will destroy you if you take it personally, so now I play with it. I stay away from politics. Some people criticize me for that, but it's a choice I've made. I have my views, but politics can be very sensitive. I've struggled so hard to get fans and people behind me for what I want to accomplish that it would be a mistake to support one party publicly and have the other party against me.

Oscar De La Hoya (1973-)

Educational institutions such as Pinkerton Academy help mold young minds and provide the experiences for them to acquire the skills, values, behaviors, and knowledge that are essential for a successful role in society. With the growing use of the Internet in education and the access to information and internal systems it opens, security is of the utmost importance. The IPS 5500 provides the three dimensional protection from undesired access, malicious content and rate-based attacks that Pinkerton needs to ensure its students, faculty and staff, and systems are adequately protected from the increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that lurk throughout the Internet.

Aldo Leopold, the early 20th century's Henry David Thoreau, said that we should think like a mountain, with a sense of permanence and a long view. At the beginning of the 21st century, we are at a peak of human power, wealth and information... We need to look back at our wonderful natural and human heritage, and cherish and protect the abundant values to be found there. We need to look out to the sides and see other parts of the world that need our help and can provide good ideas to go forward... We need to look ahead to be certain that our actions of today will make the world a better and richer and more varied place for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.

Robert Bateman (1930-)

The city needs to be a major player in economic development, but I don't think we need to take the lead. We need to look to the professionals on that. Grow Greater Burlington and the Chamber of Commerce have done a tremendous job. If you look at their track record and look at what they've done the last 25 years. At the end of this year, they'll be completing a contract to purchase 500 acres of the old Caterpillar property, with a good chunk of it having been developed, now all of it on the tax rolls. Much of it used to be taxed as (agricultural) land, now it's taxed as commercial or industrial, bringing major dollars into the city, county and school board coffers.
