(Ephesians 5:8)
Parents, leaders, and educators, we have a mission, a duty to lead children's souls toward the Light which will be their guide and their happiness. In order to illuminate the way that lies before each one of us, once a week we invite you to discover some of the words of certain wisemen and witnesses, measuring their worth by the words of St. Thomas Aquinas: “Do not consider the one who speaks, but whatever good you hear from him, confide it to your memory.” (from The Sixteen Ways to Acquire the Treasure of Knowledge by St. Thomas). Happy reading!
“When a man takes an oath, he’s holding his own self in his hands. Like water – and if he opens his fingers then – he needn’t hope to find himself again.”
Robert BOLT (1924-1995)
British playwright, director and actor
“Man loves truth of every kind; truth is the reason for all his studies, his attention, and his work. He detests error because he knows very well that in any matter he cannot err without harming himself; his true happiness is based on truth. In every condition of human life, from the highest to the lowest, man seeks absolute truth or hypothetical truth. Errors will pass; truth alone remains. Thus, man is made for truth, and truth is made for man since he searches for it incessantly, embraces it when he finds it, and neither wishes to, nor is able to, separate himself from it once he has found it.”
DIDEROT (1713-1784)
Author, philosopher, French Encyclopedist of the Enlightenment
