When I was in college, I lost my scholarship one year. I had enough money for tuition, but not room and board. So I camped in the hills.

Robert Hass

That's how the Pell Grant system works, in that you get a flat dollar amount, and you can use it for tuition or room and board.

Brian Schatz

We must be prepared to pay a price for freedom, for no price that is ever asked for it is half the cost of doing without it.

H. L. Mencken

Goods move in response to price differences from points of low to points of higher price, the movement tending to obliterate the price difference and come to rest.

Frank Knight

We are moving in exactly the wrong direction in higher education. Forty years ago, tuition in some of the great American public universities and colleges was virtually free. Today, the cost is unaffordable for many working class families. Higher education must be a right for all - not just wealthy families.

Bernie Sanders

You balance the budget by restraining the growth of government and encouraging the growth of the private sector.

Mitt Romney

It's great to talk about how good things are now. But we can't sit on our laurels and expect that our time will sustain itself if we don't do a better job on issues like education... It's absolutely the case that the low cost of college tuition that I was able to enjoy and the financial aid I was able to receive made my education possible.

Index funds have regularly produced rates of return exceeding those of active managers by close to 2 percentage points. Active management as a whole cannot achieve gross returns exceeding the market as a while and therefore they must, on average, underperform the indexes by the amount of these expense and transaction costs disadvantages.

Burton Malkiel

Most of the mutual fund investments I have are index funds, approximately 75%.

Charles R. Schwab

The responsiveness of a firm to the consumer is directly proportionate to the distance on the organization chart from the consumer to the chairman of the board.

Virginia Knauer

Can you imagine what five or 10 dollars was like in 1925? In those days, you could get room and board for $1.50 a week. Room and board!

Scatman Crothers

Setting an aggressive enough carbon-reduction goal will result in an appropriate price for carbon and will help many a renewable technology. Consumer education will help. Most importantly, though, will be the continually declining cost trajectory of the real breakthrough in clean-technology costs driven by research and innovation. In the end, private capital is the real barometer of change.

Vinod Khosla

If the U.S. doubled its total immigration and prioritized bringing in new workers, it could add more than half a percentage point a year to expected GDP growth.

Kevin Hassett

The Mars Polar Lander cost the average American the price of half a cheeseburger. A human lander would cost the average American more - perhaps even ten cheeseburgers! So be it. That is no great sacrifice.

Jonah Goldberg

Demonstrate to your customer the difference between price and cost. The price is what it takes to purchase the item. The cost is the amount the customer eventually pays. They are not the same.

Brian Tracy

I'd walk into the school, smell that institutional smell of the tomato soup, peanut butter, disinfectant, and boys room. Pass the lunchroom, see the familiar lunchroom lady with the white dress and net on her hair. At the end of 50 years of distinguished service the Board of Education gives her a bronze net - with her name on it. It stems from the Board of Education rule to keep her hair out of the food.
