"I’m committed to universal health coverage and education." ― Carol Moseley Braun Topic(s): Education More From Carol Moseley Braun "People just want to hear some common sense… and I bring to bear the experience in local government and state government and national government – I was the first woman in history on the Senate Finance Committee – not to mention the diplomatic international experience." "We’re failing our children with education, we’re failing our environment." "I think it does suggest that the American people really do want to listen to somebody who actually has some solutions, some answers, and gives them some hope." More In Education "I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it’s better than college. People should educate themselves – you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I’d written a thousand stories."― Ray Bradbury "When I enrolled in college at age 19, I had a total of eight years of formal classroom education. As a result, I was not comfortable with formal lectures and receiving regular homework assignments."― Philip Emeagwali "According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another."― Marcus Tullius Cicero
