QUOTES

Education
“Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls, which molds and develops men.”

Freedom
“The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression.”

There is in this world no such force as the force of a person determined to rise. The human soul cannot be permanently chained.

Hope
“Believe in life! Always human beings will live and progress to greater, broader, and fuller life.”

Parents
Children learn more from what you are than what you teach.

Poverty
To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships.

Living A Life Of Compassion
“Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime.”
