“It's great to talk about how good things are now. But we can't sit on ...” — Wendy Davis Quote

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.

Enough to using Texas as a political laboratory for testing far-right ideas. Enough to using Texas as a workshop for fattening the wallets of their special interest friends and supporters. And enough of politicians listening only to each other, rather than real Texans.

I'm a very competitive person. You won't change things unless you are prepared to fight, even if you don't win. But I do hate losing.

Real Texans believe in looking out for each other. We believe in honoring our mothers and fathers and keeping our smallest residents - our children - healthy.

People have to take control of their own lives. Education is key because it also raises other social indicators like healthcare.

Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.

Let woman out of the home, let man into it, should be the aim of education. The home needs man, and the world outside needs woman.

I learned more stuff in church than I did in the world.

I will venture to maintain that where the teacher is not pleasing to the pupil, there is no education.
