Some say knowledge is valuable, 
but character is more valuable than knowledge. 
One may be a learned scholar, 
one may hold high positions of authority, 
one may be very wealthy or be an eminent scientist 
but if one has no character, all the other acquisitions are of no use at all. 
Sacrifice, love, compassion and forbearance 
are the sterling human qualities that should 
be fostered, shedding jealousy, hatred, ego 
and anger which are animal qualities.
