Stephen Covey

We need a sustainable system of student finance that promotes opportunity, encourages aspiration, increases social mobility and is governed by fairness.

My concentration span is truly that of a gnat. Some people have this ladder, and that's all there is - the ladder. I have the ladder, too, but there's a building around it with scaffolding, and lots of windows for me to peek into. Then suddenly I'll remember, 'Oh, there's the ladder. I should be concentrating on that.'
