Prologue
Intentionality
A Sure Foundation Built On Traditional Values
“Do what is right and do it for the right reason.”
A Different Way: Empowering NOT Enabling
“Specific results within specific time frames. We ask them to define the benchmarks.”
Public Education: Use Marketplace Principles – Empower Parents
“Public education in America is a disgrace!”
Student Debt: A Case Study In Moral Decline
“We have to make the kind of changes in our society that align responsibility with benefits and TSI should fight for those kinds of values.”
Homelessness: A Case Study In Personal Responsibility
“Help those who are trying to help themselves.”
Mission Drift: Free Enterprise and Capitalism
“Most of those major foundations in America today do not believe in capitalism and in fact would try to undermine it, so TSI should have fidelity to the principles on which this country is built.“
Health Care: Government Is The Disease, NOT The Cure
“We call it a health care system, but it’s really a sick care system. It doesn’t have any incentives for people to take good care of themselves.”
Right vs. Wrong
“If you have integrity, nothing else matters, if you don’t have integrity, nothing else matters. Character, character, character!”
Thou Shalt Not
“As important as it is to try and articulate our vision and our desire for the future is to define what we hope the foundation to not do in the future. Let’s call it ‘Thou shalt not.’”
Blazing Trails: Building Community
“Be the sand in the oyster which creates the pearl and then move on to something else after it’s in good hands.”
Success and Failure: Two Sides of the Same Coin
“It’s often said that you learn much more from failure than you do from success. And if that’s true, I’ve learned quite a bit.”
Commitment Means Commitment
“I didn’t want the position (Colorado Governor) except as a means to accomplish what I could see in my mind’s eye.”
The Golden Rule
“I try and treat others the same way I want to be treated myself. It’s not much more complicated than that.”
Four Mentors
“Take the best of what they are doing and build on it.”
