Handbook for teachers in Human Values Education by Dr. Ron and Suwanti Farmer. Quotes.

-When you let your Light shine, you unconsciously give others permission to do the same. Nelson Mandela.
-Research demonstrates that values education not only enhances academic diligence and performance, lifts student and teacher wellbeing, promotes higher thinking skills and galvanizes community involvement, it also achieves its primary goal of creating an environment in which children can flower into their own unique manifestations of human excellence, young beings who regard their education as preparation for a lifetime of selfless service to the community.
-It is vital that when we are educating our children's brains we do not neglect their hearts. 14th Dalai Lama.
-Human Values are contained in everyone and these should be preserved. Those who have forgotten this should be reminded. That duty you should carry out. Sathya Sai Baba.
-Values education refers to any explicit and/or implicit school-based activity to promote student understanding and knowledge of values and to inculcate the skills and disposition of students so they can enact particular values as individuals and as members of the wider community.
-To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society. Theodore Roosevelt.
-What is the use of acquiring high education if one is found wanting in virtues? What is the value of such education? What is the use of ten acres of barren land? Instead, a small piece of fertile land is good enough. Sathya Sai Baba.
-Walking among these selfless servants for the greater good are the stellar luminaries, like Gandhi, Rachel Carson, Abraham Lincoln, Mother Theresa, the Dalai Lama, who stand out like beacons in a stark landscape, beckoning millions to follow.
-The end of all knowledge must be the building up of character. Cesar Chavez.
-The education reform movement calling for such a change has been known internationally by a number of names, such as moral education, character education, ethics education and values education. The common message throughout them all is for teachers to take on the role of fostering in the students those values that will benefit humanity and Mother Earth instead of causing harm.
-The essential catalyst for the manifestation of the Human Values in students is for the teachers and parents themselves to become inspiring, noble exemplars of the five values in action.
