“Virtuosi have been long remarked to have little conscience in their favorite pursuits. A man will steal a rarity who would cut off his hand rather than take the money it is worth. Yet, in fact, the crime is the same.” MenLittlesLongHas BeensFactsHandsCuttingCrimeConsciencePursuitStealingTheftRarity Author:Horace
“It is the close observation of little things which is the secret of success in business, in art, in science, and in every pursuit in life. Human knowledge is but an accumulation of small facts made by successive generations of men--the little bits of knowledge and experience carefully treasured up by them growing at length into a mighty pyramid.” MenHumansLittlesArtMadeFactsBitsSecretGrowingGenerationsLittle BitPursuitObservationLengthLittle ThingsBusiness SuccessAccumulationPyramidsSecret To SuccessHuman KnowledgeTreasuredKnowledge And Experience Book:Self-help: With Illustrations of Character and Conduct Source: Self-help: With Illustrations of Character and Conduct
“Studying music encourages self-discipline and diligence, traits that carry over into intellectual pursuits and that lead to effective study and work habits. An association of music and math has, in fact, long been noted. Creating and performing music promotes self-expression and provides self-gratification while giving pleasure to others. In medicine, increasing published reports demonstrate that music has a healing effect on patients. For all these reasons, it deserves strong support in our educational system, along with the other arts, the sciences, and athletics.” GivingLongArtSelfReasonFactsStrongPleasureHealingSupportStudyEffectsExpressionHabitDisciplineCreatingIntellectualDeserveMedicinePatientEducationalMathPursuitPerformingReportsAssociationTraitsSelf DisciplineGratificationDiligenceAthleticsSelf ExpressionEducational SystemWork HabitsSelf GratificationMath And MusicPerforming MusicStudy And WorkStudying Music Author:Michael E.

“Organization is not only directly linked to unity, but a natural development of that unity. Accordingly, the leaders' pursuit of that unity is also an attempt to organize the people, requiring witness to the fact that the struggle for liberation is a common task." "Leaders who do not act dialogically, but insist on imposing their decisions, do not organize the people--they manipulate them. They do not liberate, nor are they liberated: they oppress.” PeopleFactsNaturalDecisionCommonLeaderStruggleDevelopmentTasksOrganizationUnityPursuitWitnessLiberationOrganizeLinkedManipulateLiberatedImposing Author:Paulo Freire
