Men suffer less from hunger or dread than from living under their moral capacity. The atrophy of spirit that most men [and women] know and all men [and women] fear is tied not so much to deprivation or abuse as it is to their inability to make real the best that lies within them.

― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

“Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the world's work, and the power to appreciate life.”
