Progress
 Without education we are bound to repeat our mistakes
 Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him
how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Chinese Proverb
 Let us think of education as the means of developing our
greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private
hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into
benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.

John F. Kennedy – 35th US President.
Expansion
 We are often drawn to the grass we perceive to be greener on
the other side
 War abroad leads to catastrophe at home more often than not
 A cat’s claws are sharpest when backed into a corner
 Defeated warriors on the battle field would fight to the bitter
end in defense of their homes.
 Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every
rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from
those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold
and are not clothed.

Dwight D. Eisenhower
Resources
 For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Sir Isaac Newton
 Our veracious appetite cannot be sustained
 Our children may be paupers tomorrow because we live
like kings today.
 Only after the last tree has been cut down…the last river has
been poisoned…the last fish caught, only then will you find that
money cannot be eaten.
