Reading Is Not Walking On The Words;

[humans'] Capacity To Intervene, To Compare, To Judge, To Decide, To Choose, To Desist Makes Them Capable Of Acts Of Greatness, Of Dignity, And, At The Same Time, Of The Unthinkable In Terms Of Indignity.

How Can I Be An Educator If I Do Not Develop In Myself A Caring And Loving Attitude Toward The Student, Which Is Indispensable On The Part Of One Who Is Committed To Teaching And To The Education Process Itself.

No One Can Learn Tolerance In A Climate Of Irresponsibility, Which Does Not Produce Democracy. The Act Of Tolerating Requires A Climate In Which Limits May Be Established, In Which There Are Principles To Be Respected. That Is Why Tolerance Is Not Coexistence With The Intolerable. Under An Authoritarian Regime, In Which Authority Is Abused, Or A Permissive One, In Which Freedom Is Not Limited, One Can Hardly Learn Tolerance. Tolerance Requires Respect, Discipline, And Ethics.

Freedom Is Acquired By Conquest, Not By Gift. It Must Be Pursued Constantly And Responsibly. Freedom Is Not An Ideal Located Outside Of Man; Nor Is It An Idea Which Becomes Myth. It Is Rather The Indispensable Condition For The Quest For Human Completion.

Being Tolerant Does Not Mean Acquiescing To The Intolerable; It Does Not Mean Covering Up Disrespect; It Does Not Mean Coddling The Aggressor Or Disguising Aggression. Tolerance Is The Virtue That Teaches Us To Live With The Different. It Teaches Us To Learn From And Respect The Different.
