Other than my foundation – mentoring programs – everything I do is for money.

— Steve Harvey

I think you need to have a very strong angel community that is committed to mentoring up-and-coming entrepreneurs.

— Jason Calacanis

The issue of redistribution of resources and wealth needs to resolved systemically, but in the meantime but there are individual spots you can occupy. There are things that you can do on a daily basis that will make a difference in moving the needle in individual lives. When we look at the mentoring of young black kids, for instance, the number-one mentor group is white women. I think after that maybe it’s black women, and then white men, and then black men. We can make all kinds of arguments about that.

— Michael Eric Dyson

If I was mentoring a young fighter, I’d tell him to spend more time on boxing. That doesn’t mean I would ignore kickboxing – you still need to learn the defenses – but in stand-up, it’s hard to beat good, solid boxing.

— Chael Sonnen

Older siblings get more total-immersion mentoring with their parents before younger siblings come along. As a result, they get an IQ and linguistic advantage because they are the exclusive focus of their parents’ attention.

— Jeffrey Kluger

If you feel your school is failing you, the question is why. Is it a lack of parental involvement, large classes, school violence, poor learning environment? Are there any standards to determine where problems are? Are there tutoring or mentoring programs? If the school is still failing after 3 years then what are your options.

— John Rowland

Mentoring can have a profound impact on your personal growth, but you have to be open to change.

— Lois Zachary, EdD, author of several books on mentoring such as ‘The Mentee’s Guide: Making Mentoring Work for You.’

I love mentoring young filmmakers and girl filmmakers.

— Tamra Davis

We need to have mentoring programs energized by government, paid for by government, but who exist not because of government. Teen Challenge is a way to get people off drugs and alcohol. Teen Challenge is a faith-based program that changes people’s hearts.

— George W. Bush

We’ve built a company that distributes a pair of eyeglasses to someone in need for every pair sold; that purchases carbon offsets; and that hosts mentoring programs at the office.

— Neil Blumenthal

Mentoring is the last refuge of the older artist. With luck, disciples will keep one’s books in print, one’s reputation alive.

— Michael Dirda

Rather than accepting the drifting separation of the generations, we might begin to define a more complex and interesting set of life stages and parenting passages, each emphasizing the connections to the generations ahead and behind. As I grow older, for example, I might first see my role as a parent in need of older, mentoring parents, and then become a mentoring parent myself. When I become a grandparent, I might expect to seek out older mentoring grandparents, and then later become a mentoring grandparent.

— Richard Louv

I didn’t have a father to deal with about boyfriends. I didn’t have a father to show me how a man and woman relate in a family setting. Therefore, I have given over my life to mentoring young people. I’m adamant about young people who have been denied a father/daughter relationship.

— Bernice King

My children are very blessed…. That’s why I think that mentoring is such a critical part of the role I can play in this position. I see how little bits of exposure and big bits of exposure really change my girls significantly, and I want that for more girls around the country and the world.

— Michelle Obama

I spend a lot of time on college campuses, a lot of time mentoring young women in all sectors of business, because I don’t want them to spend as much time to get their voice as I did.

— Pat Mitchell

The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.

— Steven Spielberg

So many organizations have a mentoring arm, but they don’t really do it. Their idea of mentoring a kid is giving them general advice. But what they need to do is read with children.

— Walter Dean Myers

I remember the mentoring experiences of some teachers that I had, like a second term home room teacher in public school that really was very helpful to me.

— Sanford I. Weill

Mentoring isn’t just about what you can give to a protege. It’s about how you can help them accomplish what they want to accomplish. And once you know what the goal is, the path to getting there is just as important.

— Chris Ciulla

The role of business in advancing women’s rights is growing, particularly in the area of economic opportunity including opening access to training, mentoring, networks, markets, technology and even to capital in some circumstances.

— Melanne Verveer

I don’t think film schools are mentoring kids. I think they just send them through the curriculum, so now you know how to hold a camera, how to use a Dx3 menu. You can learn that in five minutes from somebody that doesn’t even know anything. But what do you know if you haven’t read anything – studied art and studied literature – what do you have to contribute?

— Rob Nilsson

We need to talk more openly about mentorships and sponsorships. Women don’t get the mentoring, and particularly the sponsors, they need to succeed as much as men.

— Sheryl Sandberg

Mentoring is motivated by love.

— JA Perez

If we don’t invest now in so-called priority neighbourhoods with music classes, athletic facilities, and skills training and mentoring, we will all pay more in the long run.

— Dan Hill

I talk about millennials with a healthy dose of humility, as I’m a card-carrying member of Generation X. But I have daily interaction with young people at Dana Perino & Co., through my Minute Mentoring organization, with digital friends on social media, and especially at Fox News.

— Dana Perino
