Homework Quotes

Standart top banner.

Nothing is more powerful for your future than being a gatherer of good ideas and information. That's called doing your homework.

A genius is a talented person who does his homework.

Homework strongly indicates that the teachers are not doing their jobs well enough during the school day. It's not like they'll let you bring your home stuff to school and work on it there. You can't say, 'I didn't finish sleeping at home, so I have to work on finishing my sleep here.

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. As a result, a genius is often a talented person who has simply done all of his homework.

Homework is a term that means grown up imposed yet self-afflicting torture.

Persistence is important in every endeavor. Whether it's finishing your homework, completing school, working late to finish a project, or "finishing the drill" in sports, winners persist to the point of sacrifice in order to achieve their goals.

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.

Homework, I have discovered, involves a sharp pencil and thick books and long sighs.

You will never get anywhere if you do not do your homework.

We're doing our homework to make sure we're prepared.

Do your homework or hire wise experts to help you. Never jump into a business you have no idea about.

When was the last time you used the words 'teach me'? Maybe not since you started first grade? Here's an irony about school: The daily grind of tests, homework, and pressures sometimes blunts rather than stimulates a thirst for knowledge.

The more you do your homework, the more you're free to be intuitive. But you've got to put the work in.

College is about three things: homework, fun, and sleep...but you can only choose two.

The best schools tend to have the best teachers, not to mention parents who supervise homework, so there is less need for self-organised learning. But where a child comes from a less supportive home environment, where there are family tensions perhaps, their schoolwork can suffer. They need to be taught to think and study for themselves.

One of life's most painful moments comes when we must admit that we didn't do our homework, that we are not prepared.

To overcome stress you have to find out something. You've got to do some research and homework. You need to find out who you are today.

My life is a black hole of boredom and despair." "So basically you've been doing homework." "Like I said, black hole.

Do your homework, study the craft, believe in yourself, and out-work everyone.

Do as much homework as you can. Learn everybody's job and don't just settle.

If you want to be lucky, do your homework.

I'm learning skills I will use for the rest of my life by doing homework...procrastinating and negotiation.

You have got to pay attention, you have got to study and you have to do your homework. You have to score higher than everybody else. Otherwise, there is always somebody there waiting to take your place.

You don’t get rich off your day job, you get rich off your homework.

Sometimes you can be inspired by fellow students, a teacher or professor, or even your parents.

Having a goal for your future can give you a reason for working hard and being disciplined with your schoolwork.

99 Motivational Quotes for Students When Things Get Hard

As a former mathematics teacher, I have spent a lot of time and energy motivating students. I’ve helped struggling students see the value of hard work, and I’ve inspired students to develop a growth mindset that will help them overcome life’s failures.

School is overwhelming and full of high stress situations. On top of that, balancing homework, a part-time job, and a social life can make things even more challenging for students. Managing these demands requires effective time management, resilience, and a positive attitude.

Throughout my career as a teacher, I saw firsthand how the pressures of school can weigh heavily on students and affect their performance and well-being. However, with the right support and strategies, students can navigate these challenges successfully.

One of the most powerful tools for motivation that I used with my students was inspirational quotes. I have put together a collection of 99 motivational quotes for students that I used throughout my career to help encourage students to stay motivated when things get tough.

Whether you are a senior or a freshman, this collection of motivational quotes will help you stay focused, overcome obstacles, and keep moving forward toward your goals!

Encouragement From a Former Teacher

If you are a student looking for motivation, I want to share a few words of encouragement from my time as a teacher.

During my time in the classroom , I saw how limiting beliefs can hold students back from achieving their true potential. Every year I saw groups of students doubting their abilities while fixating on grades as the sole measure of their worth. But the truth is that true success begins with a mindset shift .

One of the things I worked hard to teach my students was the power of a growth mindset . A growth mindset is the belief that your abilities can be developed through dedication and effort.

When you have a growth mindset, you understand that it’s okay to face challenges and make mistakes . Every failure we encounter is just an opportunity to grow and learn. Don’t let the fear of failure stop you from stepping outside your comfort zone and exploring your interests or pursuing your dreams. Your worth isn’t defined by a number or a letter on a report card.

Instead, I always encouraged my students to focus on what ignites their passion. When you discover what you truly enjoy and dive deep into it, learning becomes a journey filled with curiosity and excitement rather than a chore.

I have watched countless students’ grades naturally improve once they became engaged and motivated by what they are studying. Pursuing a life of passion and purpose not only enhances your academic performance but will also help you find a deeper sense of meaning and fulfilment throughout the rest of your life after school!

Let’s dig into this list of inspirational quotes from the great minds of successful people throughout history. As you read these quotes, remember that many of these figures were ordinary people who became great people through the hard work and determination they applied to their pursuits. You have the potential to achieve greatness also by embracing their wisdom and applying it to your own life!

How to Use These Motivational Quotes

There are so many ways to use the words of wisdom that come from these positive quotes to stay focused on your goals during your time as a student. 

One approach is to create a quote journal where you write down quotes about the important things in life that resonate with you. I still do this in my post-teaching life in my favorite journal . This practice has helped me navigate through many challenges with clarity and purpose.

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

Another great way to use these quotes is to set daily quote reminders. Choose quotes that emphasize the importance of taking the first step and focusing on the sum of small efforts. Use them as daily reminders on your phone or on sticky notes to keep you motivated and maintain focus throughout your day.

Your path is unique and so is your timeline. Trust yourself and follow what excites you. Let your interests guide your learning. The most important thing I can share with you is that when you develop a passion for learning first, everything else, including your grades, falls into place. Stay curious, stay persistent, and believe in your ability to achieve great things and do great work.

Don’t forget to share this post with your good friends and family on social media! If you know a student who could use inspirational quotes to help them stay motivated, this post could be just what they need!

“Knowledge + action = the life of your dreams. Keep pushing.” – Alexandra Markin, founder of Online Student Life

It’s not the end degree goal that deters most students; its enduring the daily study sessions for the weeks that turn into months, and the months that turn into years.

Keep yourself motivated by tracking your sessions. There’s something satisfying about tracking your study hours and looking back at a completed monthly page showing your progress.

“It isn’t the mountains ahead that wear you down. It’s the pebble in your shoe.” – Muhammad Ali, American professional boxer

When you go too long in between study sessions, you tend to forget things you’ve learned. This only compounds in courses where you have 30 weeks to finish. Don’t re-learn concepts; keep on a consistent study path and put what you learn to use on a daily basis.

“Only knowledge that is used sticks in your mind.” – Dale Carnegie, author of How To Win Friends and Influence People

There are some fantastic Instagram studygram accounts out there. But apart from the pretty desks, fancy stationary and inspirational day-in-the-life videos, you have to change your inspired mind into plausible action.

“This is your sign to stop scrolling social media, get out your books, and study. At some point inspiration must change into action.” – Alexandra Markin, founder of Online Student Life

There is no way to shortcut learning concepts or doing a math problem over and over again until you get it right. Success takes time and effort.

“There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.” – Zig Ziglar, American author

Building good study habits is what allows you to keep going on days when motivation is low.

“Motivation is what sets you in motion, habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Ryun, Former US Representative

The planning process can be so enjoyable for a lot of us: setting up a new bullet journal habit tracker or a new Notion page, but more important than that is execution. Your pretty plan is there to serve a purpose – bettering yourself.

Like the setup in the photo below? Go to the post Essential Bullet Journal Spreads for Online Students for the details on how to create it!

“Plan your work and work your plan.” – Napoleon Hill, author of Think And Grow Rich

Everyone experiences failure, even the straight A students. It should not be seen as something negative, rather as a valuable learning experience. I learned more from my low test scores and math problems I got wrong than I did from easily acing a concept or course.

Embrace the failures; they are there to serve you.

Rise up after every failure.

“Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don’t view failure as the end; view it as finding another way to reach your goal.

“Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.” – Zig Ziglar, American author

It can be hard to bounce back from failing an exam or not getting accepted into your college of choice, but know there is always another option out there, and that’s something to be enthusiastic about.

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” – Winston Churchill, former British Prime Minister

There are more ways that won’t work than those that will, so keep going until you have found a solution.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” – Thomas Edison, American inventor

This is one of my favourite quotes I found years ago on none other that Pinterest. I like to repeat this to myself every time I look in the mirror when I feel times are tough.

“Mirror mirror on the wall, I’ll always get up after I fall. And whether I run, walk or have to crawl, I’ll set my goals and achieve them all.” – Unknown

Even if you’re not sure your major is exactly the right choice for you, it would be worse to have never tried.

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.” – Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States

You never know what’s just around the corner: an offer of an internship, your dream job or an opportunity you didn’t expect that will change your life – hang in there!

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison, American inventor

It’s inevitable that you will fail. It happens to everyone, even the best students. But you can minimize the times you do fail by always being prepared.

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father of the United States

Failures aren’t really failures, they’re lessons. The only time you actually fail is when you give up.

“The only failure is quitting. Everything else is just gathering information.” – Jen Sincero, author of You Are A Badass

Failure doesn’t always have to be dire, like failing a class. It can be missing a few percentages away from an A, having your project turn out differently than you planned or having to miss a study session with your best friend.

Whether you realize it or not, these small things are all failures you’re overcoming, learning from, and getting stronger because of.

“Fall seven times, stand up eight.” – Japanese Proverb

Embarking on a journey of higher education is a noble pursuit, and it’s completely normal for doubts and fears to cloud our path forward.

These quotes will help you overcome any fear you may have!

If you have a good job but know you can do better, but you have to leave that job to go back to school, do it. You have to leave your comfort zone to be able to achieve greater things.

“Do not be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.” – John Rockefeller, American business magnate

Moving across the country or even to another continent to attend your dream college can be scary, but often it’s really only the fear of the unknown that scares you.

“Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” – George Addair, real-estate developer

Sitting around worrying about your studies while you procrastinate watching Netflix or scrolling TikTok isn’t going to make anything better. Getting up and doing something about it is the only fix.

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. “ – Dale Carnegie, American author

The whole reason you’re going to college is to learn new things. Welcome the challenge! Anytime you go beyond what you know you are certain to fail, but without failure there is no growth.

“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer, poet and thinker

You are your own person, having unique talents to share with the world. Use others only as inspiration, and never try to imitate them.

“Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer, poet and thinker

Don’t worry – your fear will only last until you’ve started doing the thing. Once you’ve got the hang of it, all perception of fear will dissipate.

If you feel you struggle with this, read Susan’s book Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway , with techniques for turning fear, indecision, and anger into power, action, and love.

“Feel the fear and do it anyway.” – Susan Jeffers, author

Emerson has some great quotes, especially on fear and doubt. You can practice facing your fear head on everyday: starting to tackle that concept you know nothing about, learning how to use Notion or sending that email to your professor to ask for help.

These may seem insignificant, but fears are not just for life’s bigger issues.

“He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer, poet and thinker

Which definition of fear will you choose today?

“F-E-A-R has two meanings: ‘Forget Everything And Run’ or ‘Face Everything And Rise.’ The choice is yours.” – Zig Ziglar, American author

It takes courage to overcome your fears. Sometimes, you just need to try again tomorrow. Give yourself grace.

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying “I will try again tomorrow.'” – Mary Anne Radmacher, author

Don’t compare yourself to someone else’s middle. We all experience fear as we embark our next journeys.

“Even the greatest were beginners. Don’t be afraid to take that first step.” – Muhammad Ali, American professional boxer

Now that you’ve been inspired by this post and have saved some of these to your Pinterest board, it’s time to sit down and study.

You have to power to do anything you set your mind to; don’t underestimate yourself.

Use visual aids

Colorful notes, mind maps, or flashcards can make studying more engaging and visually appealing. They can help you remember information better.

Reward yourself

Treat yourself when you achieve your study goals. It could be something as simple as a piece of chocolate or watching your favorite show.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and your knowledge won’t be either. Stay patient with yourself, and don’t give up.

Cultivate a curious mindset. The more interested you are in a topic, the easier it is to stay motivated to learn about it.

15 Funny and Motivational Quotes about Homework

When you think of homework, what comes to mind?

Maybe you think of worksheets and penmanship. Maybe you think of math drills and word problems. Maybe you think of busywork and time spent on unnecessary tasks. 

Whatever you think of, we’re pretty sure most people don’t have a positive association with homework. For kids, it means extra school work when school hours are over and they just want to play. For parents, it means time spent supervising or coaxing after a long day at work. And, for teachers, it means hours of grading once the kids go home. 

But, in defense of homework, we think there are some good reasons it exists that make us want to change our negative mindset about it! Homework helps to build responsibility and teach kids to work independently. It develops good study habits in students and can boost self-esteem and develop confidence. Afterall, everyone loves to see that bright red “100%” or “good job!” at the top of their paper! Some homework can help to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. And it definitely teaches life lessons about time management.

At the end of the day, doing tasks that aren’t the most fun but are necessary is a part of life that teaches self-discipline. So here’s to buckling down, focusing hard, and knocking out your homework each day!

We’ve put together a list of 15 quotes about homework to help you look on the bright side of after-school learning. Some are motivational and some poke fun at what can seem like drudgery, but all of them are perfect for your letter board or other magnetic surface in your home or classroom!

• H.O.M.E.W.O.R.K. Half My Energy is Wasted on Random Knowledge
• Homework: the teacher's way of finding out how smart the parents are!
• I don’t procrastinate. I save my homework until the last minute so that, by the time I do it, I’ll be older and wiser.

Learn what motivates you and choose from our collection to get you studying and reading more while always staying positive.

Motivation to Learn

Sometimes college is overwhelming. Your exams, essays, thesis, and due dates can turn into a heavy workload weighing you down. In these moments, you might ask yourself why you’re doing this to yourself, but don’t forget that you get to study a subject that you’re passionate about. When you enrolled, there was this hunger for learning inside you and all you have to do is find that motivation again.

Use the following quotes to rediscover your love for learning:

Education Prepares You for the Future

“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”

– Malcolm X

What you learn in college today prepares you for making your own way on the job market in the future. You won’t be able to use everything you learned but you’ll have a great foundation to build on. And don’t underestimate the power of learning soft skills like teamwork, time management, and critical thinking as you work your way through group projects and deadlines.

Be Patient and Take Small Steps

“A little progress each day adds up to big results.”

– Satya Nani

Don’t expect that you’ll be able to take in everything you need to study quickly and without difficulty. Give yourself the time to take small steps and divide big topics into smaller chunks. You’ll learn something new every day, which means you’re making progress every day.

Mastering a Skill Takes Time

“Skill is only developed by hours and hours of work.”

– Usain Bolt

Mastering a skill means putting in the time and effort it takes to become good at something. It’s easy to see a master at work and forget that it took hours of work to get to that level. If you set your mind to it and train or study hard, you can learn any skill you want.

Just Get Started

“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”

– Walt Disney

Too often we get stuck in a limbo of talking about or dreaming about beginning a project instead of just getting started. It’s the fear of failure that makes us come up with excuses but it’s okay to make mistakes. You’ll never grow if you don’t get started and make mistakes along the way.

What You Learn is Yours Forever

“The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you.”

– B.B. King

What you’re studying today, nobody can take away from you again. Knowledge is a power that stays with you as long as you keep using it. Use this power wisely to grow and become the person you want to be.

Seize the Day

It can be hard to get up in the morning and be fully committed to and motivated for the day ahead. It’s important to have a vision and goals that make you want to get up but it’s hard to determine what they are. Brainstorming and  creating a vision board  can help you decide what your vision should be to get you motivated.

Here are our inspirational quotes for students to help you follow the motto of ‘Carpe Diem!’:

Start Your Day With Positive Thinking

“Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.”

– Dalai Lama

Starting your day with a positive attitude towards learning and your life of study can be an enormous help to make your day in school or university go smoothly. Just a few minutes of reflection and writing down one positive thought in a gratitude journal every day will gradually form a more positive outlook. You might not see the effects immediately but if you tend to worry, try it and see the difference it can make to your day.

Focus on the Here and Now

“You can’t have a better tomorrow if you’re still thinking about yesterday.”

– Charles F. Kettering

Sometimes exams or essays might not go as planned and you find yourself mulling over what you should have done better over and over again. This is a waste of your brainpower and time. Instead of thinking about what you did wrong, write down lessons learned and apply them to your next project. This way, you can move on and make things better next time.

Don’t Keep Waiting for a Better Tomorrow

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”

– Anne Frank

Every day you start a new day you get the chance to improve and learn something new. Sometimes it’s easy to fall into a pattern of a better tomorrow when you keep pushing a project or studying for an exam to the following day. To seize the day, see what you can do today to improve your world.

Create Opportunities for Yourself

“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.”

– Milton Berle

It takes courage to follow your own path and generate opportunities for yourself, but there are ways to do so. Always be on the lookout for new opportunities that help you to move your studies along. If you find a topic hard to understand, find a study group to help you or be proactive in going to extra tutorial sessions.

Success Has to Start Somewhere

“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.”

– Gail Devers

Sometimes all the group projects and exams seem to add up to an unconquerable mountain of workload. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by college work, focus on what you’re getting started with first instead of planning too far into the future. Think about it this way: Anything you’ve accomplished so far, you started somewhere.

Overcoming Procrastination

Procrastination is the arch-nemesis of every student. Usually based on anxiety or fear of failure, procrastination can become a bad habit that students develop over the years. Creating a structure for your studies by spreading out the work with regular breaks helps. 

Here are some quotes to combat procrastination and win the fight by being more productive:

Don’t Make Studying Harder Than it Should Be

“Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.”

– Mason Cooley

This is an important statement for all the students, who tend to pull all-nighters. Frantically trying to get an essay in the night before it’s due only makes your life harder. Instead of procrastinating until the deadline is only a day away, think about how much time you need for research and writing. Then plan to spread it across a few productive afternoons in the library.

Seize Your Opportunity to Shine

“Procrastination is opportunity’s assassin.”

– Victor Kiam

If you’re procrastinating, you miss the opportunity to show your best work. Anything that you create that has been well thought out and reviewed before submission will be better than a quickly patched together project or essay. Don’t let procrastination get in the way of your opportunity to shine!

Manage Your Time Wisely

“Procrastination is the thief of time.”

– Edward Young

It happens to the best of us. Instead of working on your group project, studying for your exam, or writing your essay, you decide to watch that show on Netflix or play that game on your console. Suddenly you awake from a haze of procrastination and hours have passed. 

You’re not sure where the time went but it’s gone. To avoid procrastination eating your precious time like that, plan your day making sure you achieve a balance between studying and breaks. During breaks, you can enjoy your favorite activities.

Create Healthy Habits to Combat Procrastination

“Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.”

– George Washington Carver

Procrastination often comes from a lack of motivation and a fear of failure that leads us to make excuses instead of getting started on work. This is a vicious cycle, as it’s much more likely to fail or make mistakes if you rush a project or essay to hand it in last minute. Fight procrastination with healthy habits that help you to manage your time.

Accept that There Will Be a Learning Curve

“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”

– Zig Ziglar

Fight the fear of failure with a positive attitude towards your studies. It’s natural to make mistakes when you’re learning something new. Remember that if you’re not getting started you can’t succeed either.

Quotes to Encourage a Positive Mindset

When student life gets tough with exams and due dates piling up, maintaining a positive mindset can be hard. It’s important though to look at the bright side to keep motivated and cultivate good mental health throughout your studies.

We’ve collected some quotes to inspire a positive mindset:

Stay Positive and Good Things Will Happen to You

“Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you.”

– Mary Lou Retton

If you stay positive and surround yourself with friends that cheer you up, you’ll find that happiness won’t be so hard to achieve. Spread positivity and it will be reflected right back at you. Your friends and anyone new you meet at school or university will be happy to have a study buddy with a positive attitude.

Use Positivity to Achieve Your Goals

“Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.”

– Shiv Khera

Make sure you translate your positive thinking into actions to keep moving forward with your studies. Instead of a negative no-can-do attitude switch to a can-do philosophy. Don’t be afraid to try new things! College is for exploring and discovering new skills.

Combat Perfectionism with a Positive Attitude

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

– Arthur Ashe

Don’t get entangled in your inner critic’s judgemental comments. Sometimes you need to let perfectionism go and take a more positive stance of doing the best that you can with the resources you have at your disposal. Not everything you do in school or college will be perfect but you should always be able to say that you did the best you could.

Belief in Yourself

“To be an overachiever you have to be an over-believer.”

– Dabo Swinney

If you’re planning to go beyond expectations in your studies, the first thing you need to do is to believe in yourself that you can. To be successful, let go of your fears and embrace a positive attitude. Know what you’re capable of and have a vision in mind of what it will be like when you achieve your goals.

Strengthen Your Faith in Your Success

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”

– Helen Keller

Find things to do that give you confidence outside of your studies. See it as a study break to build up your confidence that will help you to stay optimistic. This can range from activities like making art to regular training sessions to keep fit. The little moments of success you have when you’re doing what you like best give you courage and hope.

Bounce Back from Failure

Getting back on track when your results didn’t go as planned is one of the hardest things you’ll do throughout your school and university career. It’s important to not get disheartened when you had to face a setback. Mistakes are part of the learning curve and help you to improve.

Here are some inspirational quotes to help you when it feels like things aren’t working out for you:

Have Faith and Be Patient When Times Are Hard

“Fall seven times, stand up eight.”

– Japanese Proverb

No matter how many times you fail, always get straight back up and try again. Trust yourself to succeed eventually. Even if it took you a little longer than usual, you’ll get there. Instead of giving up, find patience within yourself and give yourself the time you need.

Keep Trying New Things

“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

– Albert Einstein

Instead of being worried about trying something new, embrace the possibility of failure and focus on enjoying the learning experience. It would be boring to master everything immediately without making a few mistakes on the way that help you improve. If you go into new experiences in college with an open and excited mindset, you’ll be able to shrug off anything that goes wrong.

Move on to Better Opportunities

“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been given a no. Only to find that a better, brighter, bigger yes was right around the corner.”

– Arlan Hamilton

Rejection is hard to accept but don’t let one person telling you no get you down. A more interesting project might be waiting for you right around the corner. You’re going to meet many teachers and students throughout your school and university career. Some will agree with you and some won’t but that shouldn’t block you from carving your own path.

Embrace Failure as a Means to Success

“We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes – understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”

– Ariana Huffington

Making the wrong choice sometimes is part of life. Accepting that you’re not perfect and that mistakes happen is the first step towards bouncing back from failure more easily. You’ll come to view your mistakes as just another step on your way to success.

Success Comes at the Prize of Previous Failures

“I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

– Michael Jordan

If even someone as successful and popular as Michael Jordan admits that he fails over and over again, you can stop being hard on yourself. Everyone fails once in a while. The trick is to get back up again and keep taking steps towards your goals.

Practice Kindness and Self-Care

When you’re caught up in a study marathon, you might forget about taking care of yourself and neglect your relationships. However, self-care is crucial to maintain a good balance between studying and relaxing time. Try to practice one of your hobbies regularly to give yourself some time out and to recharge. Avoid becoming a hermit every time you need to study and use your breaks to talk to friends and family.

We’ve collected some words of wisdom on kindness and self-care for you:

Spread Positivity Through Kindness

“In a world where you can be anything, be kind.”

– Jennifer Dukes Lee

When we rush through our days in the fast-paced world of today, we can sometimes forget to be kind. You might get frustrated with the speed that exams come around or fixated on those deadlines and forget everyone and everything else around you. Combat this unhealthy state of mind by stopping yourself every once in a while and looking around you to notice what’s happening outside of your bubble of study frenzy.

Offer Yourself Kindness

“Self-compassion is simply giving the same kindness to ourselves that we would give to others.”

– Christopher Germer

Don’t neglect self-compassion and kindness during your studies. To have the capacity for compassion towards others, you need to be kind to yourself first. To be self-compassionate, offer yourself the same understanding that you would a friend. Know that you’re not alone in this and that many other students face similar issues. This will help shift your perspective and make you feel more connected.

Help Wherever You Can

“Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.”

– Minor Myers Jur

If you’re good at a subject, there’s no better feeling than helping a friend who’s struggling with it. If you’re doing well, you can share some of your good fortunes in this way. Students should stick together and help each other out. It’s not only more fun but helps developing friendships that will last a lifetime.

Use Self-Care to Stay on Track

“Self-discipline is self-caring.”

– M. Scott Peck

Self-care is important to build up resilience for staying disciplined and productive. If you can get rid of your inner critic, you’ll be able to spend more time working on your study goals instead of mulling over what went wrong. Practice self-compassion and don’t get caught up in harsh judgments you might make about yourself.

Developing Self-Compassion Takes Time

“Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.”

– Stephen Covey

If you’re working on being more compassionate towards yourself, you also have to learn to be patient with yourself. Making peace with your inner critic is not an easy task and takes time. Accept that you’ll learn and grow and you’re well on your way towards greater resilience against whatever life throws at you.

Believe in Yourself and Persevere

Perseverance is deeply rooted in an unwavering belief in yourself. To endure the times when you’re overwhelmed by deadlines and exams, you need to believe that you can get to the finish line. When you’re struggling, take a step back and look at what you’ve accomplished so far. This will give you new energy and a positive outlook. You’ve done it before, so you can do it again!

Here are our inspirational quotes to keep you going:

Trust Yourself to Succeed

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”

– Thomas Edison

When it seems like you can’t go any further, the solution to your problem might just be waiting around the corner. So don’t give up and trust that you’ll find a way. You don’t want to risk giving up right before you succeed.

Mindset is Everything

“Just believe in yourself. Even if you don’t pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.”

-Venus Williams

If you’re struggling with having faith in yourself and your skills, try pretending that you can do anything you set your mind to. Practice this for a while and observe how your mindset changes. You might find that you have a more positive outlook and start believing in yourself more.

There’s More to You Than Meets the Eye

“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.”

– A.A Milne

Sometimes you don’t know what you’re capable of until life tests you. The pressures of doing well in your degree can be such a test. Look at it as a quest to prove to yourself how strong and smart you are. This way you get to know yourself better and your student life becomes the perfect preparation for your life after graduation.

Endurance Is Key

“Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.”

– Walter Elliot

If you master perseverance, it’s something that will be with you all your life. It’s about having the will to keep going and taking one step after the other even when the odds aren’t in your favor. Take exams and deadlines one by one instead of getting overwhelmed by what can seem to be a very long journey towards your graduation.

Keep Moving Forward No Matter What Happens

“You don’t drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.”

Even when it seems hard to keep going, choose to move forward. You can’t accomplish anything by just stopping and staying where you are. Have faith that you’re trying your best and that you’re studying as hard as you can. Keep moving until you reach your goals.

Inspiration to Read More

Reading is one of the best and most pleasurable things to do to sharpen the mind. It’s more than just learning facts and dates from school books. Books widen your horizon and make you see different perspectives. Reading fosters an understanding of the world that would be hard to achieve otherwise.

We’ve collected a few words of wisdom for times when you’ve forgotten about the benefits and pleasures of reading:

Your Path to Greater Knowledge

“The more that you read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

– Dr. Seuss

Reading means knowledge. With every book you read, you learn and with the help of your imagination, you can go anywhere you like. Reading lets you enter spaces that would otherwise be hard or impossible to travel to like distant countries, fictional worlds, or states of mind.

Use Books to Escape

“That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.”

– Jhumpa Lahiri

Even when you have to read a lot for school or university, don’t forget to pick up a book for yourself as a means of escape every once in a while. Even though it might seem counterintuitive to read even more during your study breaks, it’s refreshing and relaxing to read for pleasure and enter a different world for a while.

Reading Opens Your Mind to New Experiences

“Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary.”

Reading fosters a more open mind and takes you beyond knowledge. Rather than just taking in information like a computer, you can gain a deeper understanding of the human condition.

Through empathy with the characters you read about, you get to see different worldviews. This will help you keep an open mind for meeting new people and having new experiences during your studies and the rest of your life.

Tap into the Wisdom of the Past

“The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest (people) of the past centuries.”

– Descartes

A book is your window to the knowledge of the past. Every book is an opportunity to learn from a smart person that you most likely never get a chance to talk to otherwise. Even if they died long ago, their words live on for you to study.

Read Your Way to Success

“Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.”

– Margaret Fuller

Many successful leaders are also avid readers. Applying their knowledge from books directly or indirectly, they paved their way towards success. Even though it can be hard sometimes to motivate yourself for all the reading you have to do throughout your school and university career, it’s essential to read widely to reach your goals.

Motivational Quotes for Graduation

Your big day is just around the corner. After years of hard work, you finally get to celebrate your success with your friends and family. You might have mixed feelings about what lies ahead of you after your graduation and that’s only natural. Remember to stay in the moment and party hard!

Celebrate the bittersweet end of your school career and look hopeful into the future with these quotes:

Get Excited about New Beginnings

“Everything’s always ending. But everything’s always beginning, too.”

– Patrick Ness

Life is full of beginnings and endings and if you hone in on it so is student life. You complete one year of your degree and the next begins. When you graduate, you transition into a different new beginning outside of university. It can be daunting but also exciting. Enjoy every bit of it!

Learning Is for Life

“Instruction ends in the schoolroom, but education ends only with life.”

– Frederick W. Robertson

Even if you’re looking forward to not spending hours studying in the library anymore after graduation, you’ll see that the process of learning never really stops. School and university can prepare you for life in many ways, but life itself will keep teaching you new lessons. That way you’ll keep learning something new every day.

Keep Learning Every Day

“Education is something we have to keep pursuing day after day.”

– Premier Brian Gallant

Enjoy your graduation and have a break, but after that it’s time to keep learning. Even if you think you know a lot, life has a way of throwing new challenges at you. Embrace them! Learning doesn’t end when you step outside your university’s campus for the last time.

Create Your Own Future

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

– Abraham Lincoln

Whether you’re unsure about your plans for the future, or a million ideas are running through your head, don’t just keep thinking about it but take action. Planning is great but at some point, it’s time to get started on forging your own path. If you don’t begin to walk on it, you’ll never know where it will take you.

Be Brave and Be Yourself

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”

– E.E. Cummings

When you’ve just graduated, you have a lot of expectations of what’s to come. Whatever challenges pop up next, face them with courage and remember to be yourself. You’ll continue to grow and find out who you truly are.

Lifelong Learning

Even after your graduation, you’ll continue to learn and grow. Your formal education might be completed but the new lessons of life await. Just like throughout school and university, you’ll face challenges, make mistakes, and get back up on your feet again to continue and grow.

We’ve collected some powerful quotes to inspire you on your path of lifelong learning:

Continue to Look for Sparks of Inspiration

“The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be ignited.”

When you left university, find more time to look at other areas that have always interested you. Even after years of education, your mind won’t be filled up. You’re only getting started. Be sure to keep challenging yourself and finding those sparks of inspiration.

Retain a Childlike Curiosity

“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.”

– Henry Ford

Always remember to stay curious about learning new techniques or gaining new knowledge. Even as you get further away from your formal education in years, retain a childlike curiosity that keeps you young. This stops you from stagnating in your job and you’ll keep growing.

Help to Create a Better World

“Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world.”

– Nelson Mandela

Don’t underestimate the power of education when it comes to changing the world. Critical thinking and research to see the grey areas rather than view the world in black and white are crucial skills when you’re looking to improve the world around us. Use this power of yours wisely!

Find Wisdom Through Education

“Wisdom…. comes not from age, but from education and learning.”

– Anton Chekhov

If you want to achieve wisdom in life, you have to keep learning. You can learn from experience as you get older but also make conscious efforts to add to your education. A hunger for learning is essential to finding wisdom.

Do What You Love and Keep Learning

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

– Mahatma Gandhi

Live your life like there’s no tomorrow and don’t hesitate to do what you love. Part of that is also to keep on learning and evolving. If you could live forever, you’d want to keep it exciting, which means that you’ll always have to be on the lookout for learning something new.

Table of Contents

What are Words of Encouragement for Students?

Words of encouragement are statements that help students know that they are capable of doing anything that they put their mind do.  These words are better than throwing out generic statements like “You can do it” or “You'll be fine”. 

Students who typically do well in school but seem to be experiencing unusual difficulty with schoolwork may be dealing with family or relationship issues . 

Gently asking the student how things are going in their life before offering words of encouragement can also give you further insight into how to optimize your encouragement.

Discussing a struggling student with their teacher is another way to determine exactly what kind of encouragement the student would most benefit from hearing.

85 Powerful Words of Encouragement for Students

• Believe it or not, tough times often quickly dissolve into easier times. You’ve got what it takes to get past a tough time.

• If you fall 10 times, know that you are perfectly capable of standing up 11 times.
• Getting a C or D on a test does not describe you as a person. A test score is simply a happening, not a person.
• You are the only one who can decide how to end your story. Endings aren’t written by circumstances. They are written by people like you.

• The easiest way to cope with not achieving a goal is to simply accept it. But, tell yourself that you cannot accept it unless you’ve tried to do the best you can do.

• There are always doors of opportunity opening for you but you've got to be the one to decide to go through those doors to see what's on the other side
• It may seem like some problems don't have solutions but remember, every solution found was once somebody's problem

• How do you know something is impossible to achieve until you try achieving it?

• You have an endless supply of creativity. The more you use it, the more you'll have.
• What do you want to be doing 10 years from now? Whatever it is depends on your ability to get things done.

• That wall you don't think can be climbed only exists in your mind. So knock down that wall with an imaginary wrecking ball and don't stop to look at what remains. It no longer matters.
• It is entirely possible to live your dreams. But you can't live them when you simply think about them. Life is all about action, motivation and doing.

• Whenever you feel like there isn’t enough time to accomplish all you set out to do, remember that taking care of yourself is never a waste of time. Take a deep breath and start over.
• There is no elevator to success. Every step you take to get there is indicative of the hard work you’ve put in.

• Self confidence is the key to unlocking every door that appears closed to you.
• There are no impossible tasks, only our own thoughts of impossibility.
• As a teacher, I can guide you; but, you are the only one who can take my hand and choose to follow me. 
• Every teacher was once a student.
•  If any person tries to tell you that they are never scared or unsure of themselves, they are either kidding themselves or lying. Nobody is impervious to doubt anymore than they are capable of keeping bad things from happening. It’s how you let these things affect you that defines you.
• My favorite track and field event is 100 meter hurdles. It reminds me that we can’t sprint to the finish line without incurring some obstacles along the way.
• Slow and steady wins the race. You should never measure your success on how long it takes you to obtain it.    
• When you’re afraid of failing, try to picture yourself succeeding and focus on that instead.
• I became a teacher for two reasons. The first was to learn from my students and the second was to motivate them. I am your biggest fan and have seen all that you are capable of.
• Failure is not an option in my classroom. I am in your corner, which means that I will always be there to help soften the blows of defeat and encourage you to keep fighting.
• Don’t let negative thoughts of what you can’t do prevent you from doing what you can do.

• You deserve every bit of the success you work hard for.
• The minute you decide to give up is the very minute you’ve handed over your keys to what could have been.
• Nothing worth having should ever come too easy. That would rob you of that feeling of accomplishment afterwards, which is something you deserve. 
• If you never had to work hard, you’d never appreciate the things that come easy.
• Without the presence of doubt , the mind is capable of anything it sets out to do.
• Believing in yourself is where you need to put the most effort when you’re struggling.
• When faced with a daunting task, it’s perfectly ok to walk away for a while. Do something you enjoy instead and put yourself in a better state of mind to tackle it later.
• There is no such thing as having too much knowledge. So if something takes you a bit longer to learn, you should still be grateful for the opportunity.
• Knowledge is power. The more you gain, the stronger you will become.
• When something seems too difficult, try setting a series of smaller and more obtainable goals . Then reward yourself every time you reach one.  
• Why reach only for the stars? Why not the entire universe?
• Never settle for mediocrity. Doing so would be doing a disservice to the incredible person you truly are.

Students aren't the only ones gearing up for back-to-school season. Security experts warn that criminals are also circling the date on their calendar and preying on students with a host of education-related scams.

Although young people are often tech savvy, they may also let their digital guard down and are as likely to fall for certain scams as senior citizens, according to fraud detection specialists with JPMorgan Chase. 

The Federal Communications Commission recently issued an alert to students and parents, urging them to show caution when asked to turn over personal information. Here are some of the most common back-to-school scams to look out for.

Textbook shopping scams

School supplies, including textbooks and tech tools like laptops, are costly, so it's natural to look for deals and discounts on classroom essentials. But when searching for cheaper alternatives online, beware of fake stores that purport to sell discounted school supplies and textbooks. 

Be alert to deals that appear too good to be true, and check the store's web address to make sure it's authentic. Scammers often try to mimic schools' online stores by copying and pasting their logos and other imagery to make the shops appear genuine. These sellers sometimes misrepresent what they're selling, or take your money without sending you anything at all. 

"It's eye watering how expensive textbooks are," Darius Kingsley, head of consumer business practices at JPMorgan Chase, told CBS MoneyWatch. "You'll find a lot of websites online that say they have textbooks, but the reality is a lot of them are fake, and you don't know what you'll get. It could say '2021 edition' but in reality it's ancient." 

When a seller on a marketplace or online store asks for payment through a cash transfer app like Venmo, for example, that's often a tip-off that they're trying to scam you, according to Kingsley. 

"Everyone loves a deal and textbook prices are expensive, so it's a scam that's really taken off," he said. 

Scholarship scams

Not every scholarship or student loan offer you may receive is genuine. Cybercriminals are known to imitate banks, government agencies and other lenders to target students in order to steal their personal and financial information.

"A lot of [genuine] student loans these days are funded by non-bank companies whose names you don't recognize," Kingsley said.  "There are a lot of fake loan companies," 

The upshot: Think twice before sharing sensitive data with unknown entities. Kingsley highlighted how unaware young people can be about the financial value of their personal information, oncluding their names, photos, and Social Security numbers, and how vulnerable they are if it ends up in the hands of bad actors.

"This generation is so used to their real names and other information being out there on TikTok that they've become numb to it," he told CBS MoneyWatch. "But if someone can get your full identity, then it's available on the dark web and they can use it to apply for a credit card."

While students typically may not have much in the way of funds to drain, their digital identities are still valuable. "They are young people who will be alive for a long time, so you can copy their complete identity," Kingsley said. 

This can hamstring young graduates down the line when they apply for a job or to rent an apartment only to discover blots on their credit. "It can take a while to clean up right when you're trying to launch career and new future," he added.

The FCC strongly advises against sharing personally identifiable information over the phone. This includes bank account and routing numbers as well as credit and debit card numbers. 

Tech support scams

Also beware tech support scams, in which fraudsters mimic a school computer technician. They'll commonly say they need to install educational software and ask students to click on a pop-up window to give them access to their personal device. Kingsley advises students never to grant anyone remote access to their computers and never to share their login credentials. 

Fake job offers

Although these scams aren't aimed only at students, people just launching their careers, or simply in need of cash, could be particularly susceptible to such schemes. Incidents of job scams soared 118% in 2023 compared with a year earlier, according to a recent  report  from the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC). 

In these attacks, criminals pose as recruiters and reach out directly to targets, often over text message. Scammers will ask for information that isn't typically required in a job application, like your bank account number.

If you didn't initiate contact with someone claiming to be a recruiter or hiring manager, don't engage without first doing some homework about the purported job opportunity. Research the company, including visiting their website to see if there any matching job openings. 

It's also wise to verify the name of the company with a third-party accreditation site or even Yelp, ITRC CEO Eva Velasquez said. 

"When you get a job offer saying they'll pay you $1,200 a day to stuff envelopes, that's not realistic. No company is going to do that," she said. "That's not a task that requires that level of compensation, but it does capitalize on our emotions."

Paris Olympics: 5 inspiring quotes from athletes competing at the 2024 Games

• These words of wisdom from greats like gymnast Simone Biles and tennis player Rafael Nadal will encourage you to chase your dreams

Face off: should students have homework during the summer holiday, ‘srikanth’: inspiring biopic of visually impaired man’s journey to success, researchers make leap in biologically controlling diseases spread by mosquitoes, schools in china are closing because there aren’t enough children, your voice: hong kong gold, life after olympics, beauty of lacrosse, reducing smoking, air pollution and other risk factors could prevent dementia.

The life of an athlete is all about competition, and it can be difficult to understand the mental and physical struggles they deal with. It’s a long journey to the Olympics, one that involves hours of training – often every day.

Whether on a gymnastics mat or in a pool, these Olympians have enough experience to give words of wisdom that motivate us all. With the 2024 Olympics in full swing, here are some of the most inspiring quotes from five athletes competing this year:

“If you’re having fun, that’s when the best memories are built.”

Simone Biles, US

In an interview with Refinery 29 in 2016, gymnastics superstar Simone Biles offered this advice to fans inspired by her: “If it’s not your decision, you’re not having fun”, adding how fun builds the best memories. This quote highlights her belief that approaching a difficult task from the angle of enjoyment will mitigate the stress and allow you to create lasting memories you can cherish for years. As someone with a long journey in health and growth, Biles, now 27, has always emphasised the need for enjoyment and calm during the journey to success.

“It’s not about being the best. It’s about being better than you were yesterday.”

Florent Manaudou, France

The French swimmer and Olympic champion beautifully encapsulates the spirit of self-improvement and personal growth through this quote. The 33-year-old athlete, who won gold in 2012 and has since won three more silver medals, shows that when trying to achieve a goal, it is not about how you compare to other people; the important thing is how much you evolved as a person in the process. This perspective reminds everyone that no matter how many people you are competing with, your main competition is yourself.

“I’m not back. I’m better.”

Sha’Carri Richardson, US

This elite American runner faced numerous mental health struggles after the death of her mother in 2021. But then, at the Track and Field World Championships in 2023, Richardson ran a 10.65 100-meter race, and according to USA Today, her official time was the fastest on record in the history of the race at the event. It was then that she gave her famous quote, adding that she wasn’t referring only to her ability as a runner but that she was a better version of herself. This statement reflects her growth and her determination to deal with difficult moments. “Now … I’m ready, mentally, physically and emotionally,” she noted.

“Summer, winter or rain; nothing should come in between your aim.”

Neeraj Chopra, India

The 26-year-old Indian javelin champion posted this powerful analogy on X, formerly known as Twitter, in February 2021 to showcase the importance of ambition. His words convey how nothing, not even the weather, could get in the way of his quest for success and how others shouldn’t allow distractions to stop them from achieving their goals. His quote, coupled with his arduous training journey towards the Olympics, shows that hard work transcends any obstacles when combined with determination.

“I play each point like my life depends on it.”

Rafael Nadal, Spain

Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal is one of the most celebrated athletes in sports history due to his passion and performance. In this statement, the 38-year-old player exhibits his commitment to the game and encourages others to do the same. Whether on a tennis court or simply going about your day, dedication is important, as this will bring you closer to success. When combining Nadal’s powerful statement with his achievements, we can see that extraordinary results can be achieved with the right amount of effort.

19 Facts About Tim Walz, Harris’s Pick for Vice President

Mr. Walz, the governor of Minnesota, worked as a high school social studies teacher and football coach, served in the Army National Guard and chooses Diet Mountain Dew over alcohol.

By Simon J. Levien and Maggie Astor

• Published Aug. 6, 2024 Updated Aug. 8, 2024

Follow live updates on the 2024 election .

Until recently, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota was a virtual unknown outside of the Midwest, even among Democrats. But his stock rose fast in the days after President Biden withdrew from the race, clearing a path for Ms. Harris to replace him and pick Mr. Walz as her No. 2.

Here’s a closer look at the Democrats’ new choice for vice president.

1. He is a (very recent) social media darling . Mr. Walz has enjoyed a groundswell of support online from users commenting on his Midwestern “dad vibes” and appealing ordinariness.

2. He started the whole “weird” thing. It was Mr. Walz who labeled former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, “weird” on cable television just a couple of weeks ago. The description soon became a Democratic talking point.

3. He named a highway after Prince and signed the bill in purple ink. “I think we can lay to rest that this is the coolest bill signing we’ll ever do,” he said as he put his name on legislation declaring a stretch of Highway 5 the “Prince Rogers Nelson Memorial Highway” after the musician who had lived in Minnesota.

4. He reminds you of your high school history teacher for a reason. Mr. Walz taught high school social studies and geography — first in Alliance, Neb., and then in Mankato, Minn. — before entering politics.

5. He taught in China in 1989 and speaks some Mandarin. He went to China for a year after graduating from college and taught English there through a program affiliated with Harvard University.

What Kamala Harris has said so far on key issues in her campaign

As she ramps up her nascent presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris is revealing how she will address the key issues facing the nation.

In speeches and rallies, she has voiced support for continuing many of President Joe Biden’s measures, such as lowering drug costs , forgiving student loan debt and eliminating so-called junk fees. But Harris has made it clear that she has her own views on some key matters, particularly Israel’s treatment of Gazans in its war with Hamas.

In a departure from her presidential run in 2020, the Harris campaign has confirmed that she’s moved away from many of her more progressive stances, such as her interest in a single-payer health insurance system and a ban on fracking.

Harris is also expected to put her own stamp and style on matters ranging from abortion to the economy to immigration, as she aims to walk a fine line of taking credit for the administration’s accomplishments while not being jointly blamed by voters for its shortcomings.

Her early presidential campaign speeches have offered insights into her priorities, though she’s mainly voiced general talking points and has yet to release more nuanced plans. Like Biden, she intends to contrast her vision for America with that of former President Donald Trump. ( See Trump’s campaign promises here .)

“In this moment, I believe we face a choice between two different visions for our nation: one focused on the future, the other focused on the past,” she told members of the historically Black sorority Zeta Phi Beta at an event in Indianapolis in late July. “And with your support, I am fighting for our nation’s future.”

Here’s what we know about Harris’ views:

Harris took on the lead role of championing abortion rights for the administration after Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022. This past January, she started a “ reproductive freedoms tour ” to multiple states, including a stop in Minnesota thought to be the first by a sitting US president or vice president at an abortion clinic .

On abortion access, Harris embraced more progressive policies than Biden in the 2020 campaign, as a candidate criticizing his previous support for the Hyde Amendment , a measure that blocks federal funds from being used for most abortions.

Policy experts suggested that although Harris’ current policies on abortion and reproductive rights may not differ significantly from Biden’s, as a result of her national tour and her own focus on maternal health , she may be a stronger messenger.

High prices are a top concern for many Americans who are struggling to afford the cost of living after a spell of steep inflation. Many voters give Biden poor marks for his handling of the economy, and Harris may also face their wrath.

In her early campaign speeches, Harris has echoed many of the same themes as Biden, saying she wants to give Americans more opportunities to get ahead. She’s particularly concerned about making care – health care, child care, elder care and family leave – more affordable and available.

Harris promised at a late July rally to continue the Biden administration’s drive to eliminate so-called “junk fees” and to fully disclose all charges, such as for events, lodging and car rentals. In early August, the administration proposed a rule that would ban airlines from charging parents extra fees to have their kids sit next to them.

On day one, I will take on price gouging and bring down costs. We will ban more of those hidden fees and surprise late charges that banks and other companies use to pad their profits.”

Since becoming vice president, Harris has taken more moderate positions, but a look at her 2020 campaign promises reveals a more progressive bent than Biden.

As a senator and 2020 presidential candidate, Harris proposed providing middle-class and working families with a refundable tax credit of up to $6,000 a year (per couple) to help keep up with living expenses. Titled the LIFT the Middle Class Act, or Livable Incomes for Families Today, the measure would have cost at the time an estimated $3 trillion over 10 years.

Unlike a typical tax credit, the bill would allow taxpayers to receive the benefit – up to $500 – on a monthly basis so families don’t have to turn to payday loans with very high interest rates.

As a presidential candidate, Harris also advocated for raising the corporate income tax rate to 35%, where it was before the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that Trump and congressional Republicans pushed through Congress reduced the rate to 21%. That’s higher than the 28% Biden has proposed.

Affordable housing was also on Harris’ radar. As a senator, she introduced the Rent Relief Act, which would establish a refundable tax credit for renters who annually spend more than 30% of their gross income on rent and utilities. The amount of the credit would range from 25% to 100% of the excess rent, depending on the renter’s income.

Harris called housing a human right and said in a 2019 news release on the bill that every American deserves to have basic security and dignity in their own home.

Consumer debt

Hefty debt loads, which weigh on people’s finances and hurt their ability to buy homes, get car loans or start small businesses, are also an area of interest to Harris.

As vice president, she has promoted the Biden administration’s initiatives on student debt, which have so far forgiven more than $168 billion for nearly 4.8 million borrowers . In mid-July, Harris said in a post on X that “nearly 950,000 public servants have benefitted” from student debt forgiveness, compared with only 7,000 when Biden was inaugurated.

A potential Harris administration could keep that momentum going – though some of Biden’s efforts have gotten tangled up in litigation, such as a program aimed at cutting monthly student loan payments for roughly 3 million borrowers enrolled in a repayment plan the administration implemented last year.

The vice president has also been a leader in the White House efforts to ban medical debt from credit reports, noting that those with medical debt are no less likely to repay a loan than those who don’t have unpaid medical bills.

In a late July statement praising North Carolina’s move to relieve the medical debt of about 2 million residents, Harris said that she is “committed to continuing to relieve the burden of medical debt and creating a future where every person has the opportunity to build wealth and thrive.”

Health care

Harris, who has had shifting stances on health care in the past, confirmed in late July through her campaign that she no longer supports a single-payer health care system .

During her 2020 campaign, Harris advocated for shifting the US to a government-backed health insurance system but stopped short of wanting to completely eliminate private insurance.

The measure called for transitioning to a Medicare-for-All-type system over 10 years but continuing to allow private insurance companies to offer Medicare plans.

The proposal would not have raised taxes on the middle class to pay for the coverage expansion. Instead, it would raise the needed funds by taxing Wall Street trades and transactions and changing the taxation of offshore corporate income.

When it comes to reducing drug costs, Harris previously proposed allowing the federal government to set “a fair price” for any drug sold at a cheaper price in any economically comparable country, including Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Japan or Australia. If manufacturers were found to be price gouging, the government could import their drugs from abroad or, in egregious cases, use its existing but never-used “march-in” authority to license a drug company’s patent to a rival that would produce the medication at a lower cost.

Harris has been a champion on climate and environmental justice for decades. As California’s attorney general, Harris sued big oil companies like BP and ConocoPhillips, and investigated Exxon Mobil for its role in climate change disinformation. While in the Senate, she sponsored the Green New Deal resolution.

During her 2020 campaign, she enthusiastically supported a ban on fracking — but a Harris campaign official said in late July that she no longer supports such a ban.

Fracking is the process of using liquid to free natural gas from rock formations – and the primary mode for extracting gas for energy in battleground Pennsylvania. During a September 2019 climate crisis town hall hosted by CNN, she said she would start “with what we can do on Day 1 around public lands.” She walked that back later when she became Biden’s running mate.

Biden has been the most pro-climate president in history, and climate advocates find Harris to be an exciting candidate in her own right. Democrats and climate activists are planning to campaign on the stark contrasts between Harris and Trump , who vowed to push America decisively back to fossil fuels, promising to unwind Biden’s climate and clean energy legacy and pull America out of its global climate commitments.

If elected, one of the biggest climate goals Harris would have to craft early in her administration is how much the US would reduce its climate pollution by 2035 – a requirement of the Paris climate agreement .

Immigration

Harris has quickly started trying to counter Trump’s attacks on her immigration record.

Her campaign released a video in late July citing Harris’ support for increasing the number of Border Patrol agents and Trump’s successful push to scuttle a bipartisan immigration deal that included some of the toughest border security measures in recent memory.

The vice president has changed her position on border control since her 2020 campaign, when she suggested that Democrats needed to “critically examine” the role of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, after being asked whether she sided with those in the party arguing to abolish the department.

In June of this year, the White House announced a crackdown on asylum claims meant to continue reducing crossings at the US-Mexico border – a policy that Harris’ campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, indicated in late July to CBS News would continue under a Harris administration.

Trump’s attacks stem from Biden having tasked Harris with overseeing diplomatic efforts in Central America in March 2021. While Harris focused on long-term fixes, the Department of Homeland Security remained responsible for overseeing border security.

She has only occasionally talked about her efforts as the situation along the US-Mexico border became a political vulnerability for Biden. But she put her own stamp on the administration’s efforts, engaging the private sector.

Harris pulled together the Partnership for Central America, which has acted as a liaison between companies and the US government. Her team and the partnership are closely coordinating on initiatives that have led to job creation in the region. Harris has also engaged directly with foreign leaders in the region.

Experts credit Harris’ ability to secure private-sector investments as her most visible action in the region to date but have cautioned about the long-term durability of those investments.

Israel-Hamas

The Israel-Hamas war is the most fraught foreign policy issue facing the country and has spurred a multitude of protests around the US since it began in October.

After meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in late July, Harris gave a forceful and notable speech about the situation in Gaza.

We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering. And I will not be silent.”

Harris echoed Biden’s repeated comments about the “ironclad support” and “unwavering commitment” to Israel. The country has a right to defend itself, she said, while noting, “how it does so, matters.”

However, the empathy she expressed regarding the Palestinian plight and suffering was far more forceful than what Biden has said on the matter in recent months. Harris mentioned twice the “serious concern” she expressed to Netanyahu about the civilian deaths in Gaza, the humanitarian situation and destruction she called “catastrophic” and “devastating.”

She went on to describe “the images of dead children and desperate hungry people fleeing for safety, sometimes displaced for the second, third or fourth time.”

Harris emphasized the need to get the Israeli hostages back from Hamas captivity, naming the eight Israeli-American hostages – three of whom have been killed.

But when describing the ceasefire deal in the works, she didn’t highlight the hostage for prisoner exchange or aid to be let into Gaza. Instead, she singled out the fact that the deal stipulates the withdrawal by the Israeli military from populated areas in the first phase before withdrawing “entirely” from Gaza before “a permanent end to the hostilities.”

Harris didn’t preside over Netanyahu’s speech to Congress in late July, instead choosing to stick with a prescheduled trip to a sorority event in Indiana.

Harris is committed to supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, having met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at least six times and announcing last month $1.5 billion for energy assistance, humanitarian needs and other aid for the war-torn country.

At the Munich Security Conference earlier this year, Harris said: “I will make clear President Joe Biden and I stand with Ukraine. In partnership with supportive, bipartisan majorities in both houses of the United States Congress, we will work to secure critical weapons and resources that Ukraine so badly needs. And let me be clear: The failure to do so would be a gift to Vladimir Putin.”

More broadly, NATO is central to our approach to global security. For President Biden and me, our sacred commitment to NATO remains ironclad. And I do believe, as I have said before, NATO is the greatest military alliance the world has ever known.”

Police funding

The Harris campaign has also walked back the “defund the police” sentiment that Harris voiced in 2020. What she meant is she supports being “tough and smart on crime,” Mitch Landrieu, national co-chair for the Harris campaign and former mayor of New Orleans, told CNN’s Pamela Brown in late July.

In the midst of nationwide 2020 protests sparked by George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer, Harris voiced support for the “defund the police” movement, which argues for redirecting funds from law enforcement to social services. Throughout that summer, Harris supported the movement and called for demilitarizing police departments.

Democrats largely backed away from calls to defund the police after Republicans attempted to tie the movement to increases in crime during the 2022 midterm elections.
