Day 7 ~ February 6 ~ Education
We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Reflection
Knowledge strengthens your conviction and deepens your understanding and acceptance. A complete education teaches how to live by the principles which benefit us and the people around us.
Affirmation
One who has been educated well, has not only acquired knowledge and the ability to reason, but has learned to listen and to seek understanding, has learned that character matters. Today I know that education is peacebuilding by another name.
Mahatma Gandhi Canadian Foundation for World Peace
