An old man is twice a child.
-William Shakespeare
With the darkness of ignorance, selfishness and greed looming large in his mind, man is unable to radiate the indwelling light of love, compassion and brotherhood.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
-Antoine De Saint Exupéry
