When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the
most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving
much advice, solutions, cures, have chosen rather to share our pain
and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who
can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can
stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate
not knowing, not curing, not healing and face us with the reality
of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
- Henri Nouwen

Education is not merely a means for earning a living or
an instrument for the acquisition of wealth. It is an

soul in the pursuit of truth and the practice of virtue.
- Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit
