"A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history."

"A principle is a principle. In no case can it be watered down because of our incapacity to live it in practice. We have to strive to achieve it, and the striving should be conscious, deliberate and hard."

“Be the change you want to see in the world…”

M. K. Gandhi, 1869-1948

“The child who has felt a strong love for his surroundings and for all living creatures, who has discovered joy and enthusiasm in work, gives us reason to hope that humanity can develop in a new direction. Our hope for peace in the future lies not in the formal knowledge the adult can pass on to the child, but in the normal development of the new man.”

Dr. Maria Montessori, 1870-1952, Education and Peace
