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

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.

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.

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.

Love is ease.

Kitten, four hours of sleep while holding you is far more beneficial to me than eight hours of endless tossing and turning because you're not there. -Bones from This Side of the Grave

You have to be organized, that you have to vote even when it's not exciting.

Earn as much money as you possibly can and as quickly as you can. The sooner you get money out of the way, the sooner you will be able to get to the rest of your problems in style.

We try to, when you come to Google, fulfill that need that you have as quickly as possible.

We had to figure out how to produce books in a cost-effective way.

Sin is not simply making bad choices or mistakes. Sin is having the desire in our hearts to do the will of the enemy of God.

I'm an actor - it's not brain surgery. If I do my job right, people won't ask for their money back.

Let us not burden our remembrances with a heaviness that's gone.
