Despite Arizona's remarkable growth in recent years we have met the current federal health standards for ozone pollution and the Environmental Protection Agency recently approved our dust control plan.

This Nation has realized significant environmental improvements over the last three decades.

I reflect back 35 years ago and look how far we have come in America with our environmental policy to improve the conditions of our air and water and we have had some real successes.

In the rich world the environmental situation has improved dramatically. In the United States the most important environmental indicator particulate air pollution has been cut by more than half since 1955 rivers and coastal waters have dramatically improved and forests are increasing.

Environmental quality was drastically improved while economic activity grew by the simple expedient of removing lead from gasoline - which prevented it from entering the environment.

The most meaningful engine of change powerful enough to confront corporate power may be not so much environmental quality as the economic development and growth associated with the effort to improve it.

I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth environmental protection improvements in our educational system.

We assume that everything's becoming more efficient and in an immediate sense that's true our lives are better in many ways. But that improvement has been gained through a massively inefficient use of natural resources.

The only way forward if we are going to improve the quality of the environment is to get everybody involved.

Enhancing revenues will help us improve education and solve our infrastructure problems.

Education is the silver bullet to improve this Nation's standing worldwide... and our teachers know that.

The government has convinced parents that at some point it's no longer their responsibility. And in fact they force them in many respects to turn their children over to the public education system and wrest control from them and block them out of participation of that. That has to change or education will not improve in this country.

The real solution is to improve the incomes of the poor and provide their children with decent education.

Many of those who argue for vouchers say that they simply want to use competition to improve public education. I don't think it works that way and I've been watching this for a longtime.

If you improve education by teaching for competence eliminating schooling and connecting with students the test scores will improve.

Scientific research and other studies have demonstrated that arts education can enhance American students' math and language skills and improve test scores which in turn increase chances of higher education and good jobs in the future.

Heart and head are the constituent parts of character temperament has almost nothing to do with it and therefore character is dependent upon education and is susceptible of being corrected and improved.

Education is a crutch with which the foolish attack the wise to prove that they are not idiots.

Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.

I feel very lucky because of my parents and then my education the opportunities that I've had so I would like to continue working to improve lives for others.

As people do better they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic which proves there can be too much of a good thing.

I can have my goals and I can have my dreams. My goal is to make the finals and improve my position. I want to run all decent races. I don't want to look back and say I ran a terrible race.

I published in 1978 a report on dreams in the Journal of Clinical Psychology. It was the first study of its kind to demonstrate that it is possible for people to make constructive use of their dreams to improve their lives.

Just what future the Designer of the universe has provided for the souls of men I do not know I cannot prove. But I find that the whole order of Nature confirms my confidence that if it is not like our noblest hopes and dreams it will transcend them.
