There should be a path to earned legal status for those that are here. Not - not amnesty - earned legal status, which means you pay a fine and do many things over an extended period of time.Collection: Legal
Low standards are a tactic that takes pressure off teachers' unions by accepting mediocrity and failure for kids.Collection: Failure
We awoke one morning in September, and the world lurched on its axis.Collection: History
Who among us has never looked up into the heavens on a starlit night, lost in wonder at the vastness of space and the beauty of the stars?Collection: Beauty
Teachers make a difference, and we would serve our students better by focusing on attracting and retaining the quality teachers by raising teacher pay.Collection: Teacher
There's a fine line between stubbornness and the positive side of that, which is dogged determination.Collection: Positive

We should have a path to legal status for the 12 million people that are here illegally. It means, come out from the shadows, pay a fine, earn legal status by working, by paying taxes, learning English. Not committing crimes and earn legal status where you're not cutting in front of the line for people that are patiently waiting outside.Collection: Legal
Our children can achieve great things when we set high expectations for them.
But without a caring society, without each citizen voluntarily accepting the weight of responsibility, government is destined to grow even larger, taking more of your money, burrowing deeper into your lives.
I don't think a party can aspire to be the majority party if it's the old white guy party.
Barack Obama became president, and he abandoned Iraq. He left, and when he left Al Qaida was done for. ISIS was created because of the void that we left, and that void now exists as a caliphate the size of Indiana.
Traditional marriage is what should be sanctioned.
I would say national security is work in progress.
Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity.
Treating people fairly and with civility is not a bad thing... It would be good for our country if political leaders actually took that to heart.
It's a volatile time.
My wife and I are living large in our beloved Miami and I'm working on the things that are important to me.
Immigrants are more fertile.
I have a blessed life in so many ways.
We are stronger because we recognize that government isn't the sole answer to the most important questions, and we welcome community and faith based organizations as partners to serve the needs of Florida families.
Florida is a place of unparalleled diversity of backgrounds, experiences and vision. It makes our culture unique, but it can also make it difficult to define a common identity and create a sense of community that reaches beyond our neighborhoods to all corners of our state.
Florida has its own rhythm, too. People go to work, they watch their children learn and grow and start families of their own. They play in the sun and pass their lives enjoying the outsized blessings that make our state unique.
I have never wavered from my intention to advance the cause of diversity in new and more effective ways.
I reject the notion that a high turnout helps Senator Kerry. I think in Florida at least, it's going to help President Bush because we have gotten more registered voters than the Democrats, and our base is just fired up - thanks to your help and a lot of others.
If more people were actively engaged in advocating their positions I think we'd have a better society.
People with deep faith and big hearts are concerned, as I am about the circumstance that Ms. Schiavo is in. I want them to know I will do what I can, but there are limits to what any particular person - irrespective of the title they currently hold - can do.
Apparently there are some Democratic leaders in the Senate that are running for office who now believe in tax cuts.
I think President Obama has used the bully pulpit as a way to attack capitalism.
Any time an elected official in the world we're in today that appears so dysfunctional challenges a core constituency not of their opponent but of their own political base, I think we should pause and give them credit.
I had the chance to be governor for eight years and I took a year to transition out and a year to transition in, so that's a decade of my life where I pursued my own ambitions and I thought it was time to rearrange my life to focus on other things.
It's a complex relationship when your dad happened to be president and you are president and then you have all the amateur psychology that goes on when people try to speculate about motivations.
I really think that elected officials should be focused on how you create sustained economic growth, how do you create jobs and all of these issues that made people - segments of our society believe are really important are diversions politically.
My guess is my brother would call his mom and his dad pretty regularly, a lot more than I probably did.
Candidates are making lasting impressions on voters, not just primary voters, in how they campaign.
You have to remember that in a state like Florida, independent voters will decide the election.
You have to maintain your principles but have a broader appeal.
I think the voters can make up their own minds.
You focus on the things that you can control, and that's what I'm doing.
I was blessed to have a mother and father that recognized the value of education.
As governor, I saw the link between economic prosperity and the ability to acquire knowledge.
There's a direct link between percentage of young people that are educated and how we live our lives.
There are people who believe in expanding the welfare state across the spectrum of races and ethnicities and creeds.
If you had to pick the values that would be held dear to a broad number of Hispanic voters, access to opportunity would be a higher value than guarantee of security, particularly amongst the newly arrived, meaning the last 20 years.
Second-generation Hispanics marry non-Hispanics at a higher rate than second-generation Irish or Italians. Second-generation Hispanics' English language capability rates are higher than previous immigrant groups'.
If you have to deal with our friends at ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, it's like a Kafka novel. Files just disappear.
It's been painful to see the people that you love be attacked when you know it's not fair or true.
People are moping around and I think campaigns can be about lifting the spirits of the American people.
Right now people seem to be very tentative about the positive benefits of capitalism.
I don't know if I'm a national education figure.
