“O God, enlarge within us the sense of fellowship with all living things, even our brothers, the animals, to whom Thou gavest the earth as their home in common with us. We must remember with shame that in the past we have exercised the high dominion of man with ruthless cruelty so that the voice of the earth, which should have gone up to thee in song, has been a groan of pain. May we realize that they live, not for us alone, but for themselves and for Thee and that they love the sweetness of life.” MenShouldMayHas BeensHomeEarthPainPastRememberSongVoiceRealizingAnimalCommonGoneBrotherCreaturesShould HaveShameCrueltyTheeSweetnessFellowshipLiving ThingsRuthlessDominionSweetness Of Life Author:Saint Basil
“How often are you worrying about the present moment? The present moment is usually all right. If you're worrying, you're either agonizing over the past which you should have forgotten long ago, or else you're apprehensive over the future which hasn't even come yet. We tend to skip over the present moment which is the only moment God gives any of us to live.” IfsGivingShouldLongMomentsPastWorryShould HaveForgottenPresent MomentLong AgoOver The PastSkipAgonizing Author:Peace Pilgrim
“There is, however, no advantage in reflections on the past further than may be of service to the present. For the future we must provide by maintaining what the present gives us and redoubling our efforts; it is hereditary to us to win virtue as the fruit of labour, and you must not change the habit, even though you should have a slight advantage in wealth and resources; for it is not right that what was won in want should be lost in plenty.” WantGivingShouldMayPastWinningLostWealthEffortVirtueHabitReflectionResourcesAdvantageShould HaveFruitPlentyLabourMaintainingHereditary Book:The Peloponnesian War Source: The Peloponnesian War
“The key problem is to find out why that sector of society of the past, which I would not hesitate to call capitalist, should have lived as if in a bell jar, cut off from the rest; why was it not able to expand and conquer the whole of society?... [Why was it that] a significant rate of capital formation was possible only in certain sectors and not in the whole market economy of the time?” IfsShouldWholeProblemAblePastCertainEconomyCuttingKeysShould HaveRateSignificantConquerCapitalistBellsFormationJarsMarket EconomyBell Jar Book:Civilization and Capitalism, 15th-18th Century: The wheels of commerce Source: Civilization and Capitalism, 15th-18th Century: The wheels of commerce
“Today, I will try to remember to regret the past. I will think of how many mistakes I have made throughout my life.

“One of the problems we've had is that the ICT curriculum in the past has been written for a subject that is changing all the time.
