IMPACTING PEOPLE WITH RESPECT, LOVE AND DIGNITY

On Education

On Philanthropy

On The Arts

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

 

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

 

Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.

 

The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.

 

Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.

 

Those who educate children well are more to be honored that they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.

 

Education is the best provision for old age.

 

Ὰριστοτέλης (Aristotle)

My love as deep [as the sea]; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.  William Shakespeare

 

Installing new wells and rebuilding damaged water and sewer lines; building and repairing safe and sanitary school bathrooms; implementing lifesaving water purification systems;  Teaching the right way to wash hands after using the bathroom and before eating and preparing food; training the people who benefit from installed wells, water and sewer lines and rainwater harvesting systems to keep those systems functioning and do minor repairs with existing or donated tools. From the IOCC website.

 

φιλανθρώπου δἐ παύεσθαι τρόπου 11

τοιαῦτ' ὲπηύρω τοῦ φιλανθρώπου τρόπου 28

Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. Aristotle.

 

Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue. Plato

 

Words are the physicians of a mind diseased. Aeschylus.

 

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. Plutarch.

 

All art is concerned with coming into being ... for art is concerned neither with things that are, or come into being by necessity, nor with things that do so in accordance with nature. Aristotle.
