Larger than Life rule (7,75,170,100,200)

"[The universe] stands continuously open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics." - Galileo, 1623

"It's time to turn the page on education, to move past the slow decay of indifference that says some schools can't be fixed, that says some kids just can't learn. As president, I will launch a campaign to recruit and support hundreds of thousands of new teachers across the country--because the most important part of any education is the person standing in front of the classroom. It's time to treat teaching like the profession that it is. It's time to pay our teachers what they deserve. Pay them more money. ... And when it comes to developing the high standards we need, it's time to stop working against our teachers and start working with them. Teachers don't go into education to get rich. They don't go into education because they don't believe in their children. They want their children to succeed, but we've got to give them the tools. Invest in early childhood education. Invest in our teachers and our children will succeed." - Barak Obama, June 19, 2007, Take Back America 2007 Conference
