-New values education, a way of schooling that gives equal priority, if not more, to the development of good character as it does to the training for academic excellence.
-In this new era teaching must go beyond addictive kinds of presentism that push us into short-term thinking, and instead recover the full gradeur, drama, and mystery of what it means to be one human soul educating another. it will mean finding in that instant of communication between teacher and students a spark of the divine, however obscure and misunderstood. It will mean delving deeply into our common humanity and sharing that spiritual adventure with all of those students who are counting on us to help them realize all of the latent treasures that lie untapped deep within.
-Unless education is transformed into wisdom, and wisdom is expressed in character, education is a wasteful process. Sathya Sai Baba.
-Today the cause of all the unrest in the world is because the children have not been educated properly... They have been taught about their rights, but they have not been taught what are their responsibilities... They are only taught 'I', 'I', 'I', and nothing about 'we'...
-Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility, these three forces are the very nerve of education.
