Life-Enriching Education: an education that prepares children to learn throughout their lives, relate well to others, and themselves, be creative, flexible, and venturesome, and have empathy not only for their immediate kin but for all of humankind.

We are this divine energy. It's not something we have to attain. We just have to realize it, to be present to it.

Understanding the other persons' needs does not mean you have to give up on your own needs.

Never hear what somebody thinks about you, you'll live longer. Hear that they're in pain. Don't hear their analysis.

What bores the listener bores the speaker too.

With empathy we don't direct, we follow. Don't just do something, be there.

You don't have to be brilliant. It's enough to become progressively less stupid.
