“I LEAVE YOU A THIRST FOR EDUCATION. Knowledge is the prime need of the hour.” 

“I LEAVE YOU RESPECT FOR THE USES OF POWER. We live in a world which respects power above all things. Power, intelligently directed, can lead to more freedom. Unwisely directed, it can be a dreadful, destructive force.”
