QUOTE OF THE MONTH:

There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is Curiosity. There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is Vanity. There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is Love.

St Bernard Of Clairvaux


‘Take care of your body as if you were going to live forever; and take care of your soul as if you were going to die tomorrow.’

Augustine of Hippo
