(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!
Nothing blossoms in heaven which hasn’t first been sown on earth.
Gustave Thibon (1903-2001)
Philosopher
“One second, or one minuscule effort is sometimes all that is needed to knock a book off a table, to scatter papers, to stain a shirt, to wrinkle clean laundry, to burn a wheat field, or to kill a man. It takes effort, and time, to pick the book back up again, to organize the papers, to clean the shirt, to iron clothes; a year of care and toil is needed to bring about another harvest, and a dead man can not be brought back to life; twenty full years are needed to bring a new man into the world.”
Simone Weil (1909-1943)
