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

-Those seeking to practice Right Conduct will show respect for society's laws, their parents and elders, and the customs and practices of other cultures and faiths.
They will aim to be healthy, tidy, punctual, dutiful, reliable and responsible; to live simply; to study and work diligently; to respect elders; and to take on duties and responsibilities willingly. They will develop self-reliance, self-discipline and enthusiasm.
Underlying all this is a commitment to be true to the inner guidance of conscience, which prompts all of Nature to be uniquely and perfectly Itself.
-Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony. Gandhi.
-Those seeking to practice Non-violence will try to avoid expressing anger, resentment, envy, jealousy and bitterness. Instead, doing their best to cultivate Love and Peace.
-They will cultivate gentleness, kindness and friendliness with all; having sympathy for the pain and difficulties of others, and so being unwilling to hurt or insult others in thought, word or action. They will avoid finding fault with others, and will practice forgiveness and forbearance when abused.
-It is through the teaching of Human Values  that character will blossom in the children. Good character and the five Human Values are of course synonymous, representing the same high ideals of human behavior.
-None of the five Human Values can stand alone.
-Each of the Human Values is defined by the other four, although Love ultimately has primacy.
-Forget that harm that anyone has done to you, and forget the good that you have done to others. If wealth is lost, nothing is lost. If health is lot, something is lost. If character is lost, all is lost. Sathya Sai Baba.
-Character is something that has to be nurtured, fostered, shaped and sometimes forged in the fire of pain, disappointment, hardship, shame and anger.
-The Human Values are the foundation, the substance and essence of every cell and atom in the universe.
-A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart. Goethe.
