I have always believed and promoted the fact that education and access to the knowledge society involves lifelong learning.

As Aboriginal people we have always retained our resilience, our humour and our cultural integrity - we will always retain our dreams and a vision for the future for our people.

The purpose of life is to matter and be ever mindful of the opportunities that we can both individually and collectively provide for others.

If you can see the invisible, then you can see the possible and provide the opportunities for trust, commitment and ways of empowering others to manage their past, present and future.

We can walk together to change the status quo.

To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul.

Family's the most important thing.

Learn to see in another's calamity the ills which you should avoid.

I've done for the most part pretty much what I intended - I ended up doing comedy, writing and painting. I've had a ball. And as I get older, I just become an older kid.

Objective judgement, now, at this very moment. Unselfish action, now, at this very moment. Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of all external events. That's all you need.

Bigger than any obstacle is the strength that one posses It's a power that overcomes every obstacle

I did ask Larry David, "How did I get so lucky? How am I here Seinfeld?" He just said, 'Well, when you say your name over and over it just has a really strong rhythm: "Marisa Tomei. Marisa Tomei."

Heaven is always and forever around us and no soul remembered is ever really gone.

The slow-motion replay doesn't show how fast the ball was really travelling.

Don't learn to do, but learn in doing. Let your falls not be on a prepared ground, but let them be bona fide falls in the rough and tumble of the world.
