“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves”
His Holiness XIV Dalai Lama
“What is important is that one utilizes one's intellect and not to be 100 percent sure about one's convictions. One should always leave room for doubt”
Shirin Ebadi
“Our challenge as educators is to make sure children are fed, feel safe, and basic needs are met. Our job is to make it so they're not thinking of survival and can use their energy and attention to learn”
Jody Williams
