“Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being.

Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility.

The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.”

Saint Augustine

“Education is a human right with immense power to transform.

On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.”

Kofi Annan

Of all that is good, sublimity is supreme. Succeeding is the coming together of all that is beautiful.

Furtherance is the agreement of all that is just. Perseverance is the foundation of all actions.

Lao Tzu
