"As regards the education of children, I think you should teach them not small virtues, but the big ones. Not savings, but the generosity and indifference to money, not prudence, but the courage, not guile but the sincerity and love for the truth, not diplomacy, but the love of neighbor abnegation, not the desire for success, but the desire of being and knowing. " Natalia Ginzburg (from The Little Virtues, 1962)
