Education is a social process; Education is growth;
Education is not preparation for life; Education is life itself. --- John Dewey
The prosperity of a country depends not on the abundance of its revenues, not on the strength of its fortifications, not on the beauty of its public buildings; but it consists in the number of its cultured citizens, in its men of education, enlightenment and character. --- martin Luther.
If wealth is lost nothing is lost.
If health is lost something is lost.
If character is lost everything is lost. --- MK Gandhi (Father of Indian Nation)
