“No one has ever achieved greatness without dreams.”

“If you don’t have a goal, you can’t achieve it.”

“Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.”

“It makes sense that the only institution this country has that would honor, and most importantly, archive and preserve, our teachers and the great educational achievements should be in the place that invented what we now know as the American public school system.”

“The Horizon project remains on track. To date we have achieved our critical milestones and advanced other key activities, positioning the project to take advantage of identified market opportunities in 2006 to move the project forward.”

“What do you want to achieve or avoid? The answers to this question are objectives. How will you go about achieving your desire results? The answer to this you can call strategy.”

“The objective... is to achieve a comfort level between the cook/artist/performer and the customer/viewer/diner. And if we can achieve that, and the customers are happy and the cooks are happy, then we have a great experience.”
