Our goal has been to more effectively promote the value of publicly-supported research at our universities, both to the Congress and to the general public.

We will work with industrial or Dept. Of Defence sponsorship as long as we keep our principals of openness firm we're proud to work with the military, and they respect that in turn.

The thing that we at MIT must understand is the amount of real damage that is being done to us in the fine structure of how research funds are expended.

We have been restraining the growth of the cost of education-that is, tuition, room and board-to be within approximately one and a half percentage points of the consumer price index.

Over-reliance on strictly economic justifications has already begun to hurt the quality and range of education at every level of American life.

The term 'cost shifting,' as I use it, refers to those items in a university's budget that used to be reimbursed by the federal government but are no longer paid for by them.

Literally from the moment I came in the door of MIT, it was very clear that a highly productive 40-year partnership between U.S. research universities and the federal government was badly eroding.

I would also certainly continue to keep loan repayment interest rates as low as possible. And I would spread the financial aid a little less thinly across all income brackets.

The Science Coalition, which grew out of an initial concept at Harvard and at MIT, has now grown to an informal group of about 60 research universities.

We are trying to make up these other elements by gaining cost efficiencies through our reengineering process and through overt fund-raising activities to better support graduate education.

A woman is a blue sky with flying white clouds of emotions.

To ask, 'How do you do it?' is already starting off on the wrong foot. When reaching for the stars, there does not have to be a 'how' if there is a big enough 'why'.

Amidst of all these darkness, soul wrenching pain and disappointments, you have a heart that still believes in love, trust and second chances. And that my dear, is what makes you so beautiful.

Courageous people do not fear forgiving, for the sake of peace.

Boys have a rap sheet of breaking women's heart!!

The Lord is my comfort, my hope and my peace.

Eventually, most people felt MoMA had filled a very important gap.

A nonviolent action accompanied by nonviolence in thought and word should never produce enduring violent reaction upon the opponent.

I want a big house with a moat and dragons and a fort to keep people out.
