The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy,
not respectable, and wealthy, not rich, to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and
birds, to babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully,
do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never, in a word to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common, this is to be my symphony.
~
William Henry Channing
Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self--respect leads to self--discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.

Let us forever forget that every station in life is necessarily that
each deserves our respect; that not the station itself; but the worthy fulfillment of its duties does honor the man.
~
Mary Lyon
Character is the foundation stone upon which one must build to win respect.
Just as no worthy building can be erected on a weak foundation, so no lasting reputation worthy of respect can be built on a weak character.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) was known as the Father of Nation played a stellar role in India's freedom struggle.
Thinker, statesman and nationalist leader, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi not only led his own country to independence
but also influenced political activists of many persuasions throughout the world with his methods and philosophy of
nonviolent confrontation, or civil disobedience.
If he had wanted, Gandhi could have lived a very comfortable life as a lawyer. Instead he devoted it to prayer,
fasting and meditation. He wore basic clothes and lived off fruit, vegetables and milk. He gave up his personal comfort
to bring well-being to millions of others. He was one of the greatest men of this planet.
(1869-1948)
We must become the change we want to see.
