Simon Sinek "Martin Luther King did not say 'I have a mission statement.'" Criss Jami "Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction." Mari Smith "Content is King but engagement is Queen, and the lady rules the house!" Kofi Annan "Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family." Allan Bloom "Education is the movement from darkness to light." |
