"I know this is the only school of public service in the country, or the world. That’s just really wonderful, that’s something that we should all give money to."

- CNN Founder Ted Turner

"I don’t know any place in the United States that has more interesting speakers, more frequently, than the Clinton School."

- Cliff Sloan, publisher of Slate Magazine.

"One of the things that we often overlook is the fact that people put this together and that people encourage an environment that allows this kind of activity. With all due respect to years gone by, there weren’t a number of happenings, such as the reading of an autobiography of a state senator in a setting that fosters thought, debate, education and interest in Arkansas history and Arkansas politics. This is merely one of many, many events held in this facility."

– Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe, speaking at a book reading at the Clinton School

"One of the things that I hoped we would be able to do with this program was not only train these young people so that they would be affective in public service, but show them what their options were. So we’ve had young people working over here in the Mississippi Delta but also working all over the world. And we were able to bring in an enormous number of speakers from all over the political spectrum from all different kinds of public life."
