Fine buildings, fine pictures and books and everything…

“Fine buildings, fine pictures and books and everything that is beautiful are certainly signs of civilization. But an even better sign is a fine man who is unselfish and works with others for the good of all. To work together is better than to work singly, and to work together for the common good…” quote by Jawaharlal Nehru
