Community is gathering around a fire and listening to someone tell a story.

Community is, as the very heart of civilization, the mutually cooperative and voluntary venture of man to assume a semblance of responsibility for his brother.

Community is grounded in this idea — It is your concern when the wall next door is on fire.

Community is grounded in dialogue — it comes as a result of folks talking 'to' one another instead of 'about'.

Education is a chest of tools.

Education is atmosphere, nothing more.

Education is the making of men.

Education is soul crafting.

Friendship is not something you get; rather it is something you give.

Friendship is a roller coaster — He who seeks a constant friend goes to the cemetery.

Friendship is good — better a stranger made a friend than a friend made a stranger

Friendship is to do unto some one that which you would not allow him to do unto you.

Generosity is wise — it will always leave a more pleasant memory than stinginess.

Generosity is the most efficient form of revenge.

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

Generosity is less about giving a great deal than about gifts well-timed.
