What matters to me is learning and growing and getting to do what I love to do. As long as I can do that I'm happy.

The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life and it wasn't about money. It was about teaching or learning.

I enjoy learning about different periods and people and then taking what's universal about the human condition and seeing where it matches up. No matter where you are certain things unite everybody.

Smatterers in learning are the most opinionated.

We learned about honesty and integrity - that the truth matters... that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules... and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves no matter how unpleasant are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn whatever steps we take they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.

Once it gets to a point where it becomes a matter of life and death to occupy a position of leadership or not with an eye on future opportunities therein lies the danger.

Leadership offers an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life no matter what the project.

I have never been afraid to stand up to the leadership on issues where we disagree. If you chose to keep Cambridge Labour then I can continue to press the Government for the things that matter to you in a way that members of the opposition are unable to.

It's not a matter of if economies around the world becoming low-carbon but when and how: through struggle and strife or through advancement and progressive leadership. Larry Elliot described it today as the 'Green New Deal.' It's a leadership we in Britain can provide and from which our economy can benefit.
