Boy and girl Quote by Robert Baden-Powell
“We should take care, in inculcating patriotism into our boys and girls, that is a patriotism above the narrow sentiment which usually stops at one's country, and thus inspires jealousy and enmity in dealing with others... Our patriotism should be of the wider, nobler kind which recognises justice and reasonableness in the claims of others and which lead our country into comradeship with...the other nations of the world.”

![“Education had been a great gift for him [Ziauddin]. He believed that lack of education was the root of all the Pakistan's problems. Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be reelected. He believed schooling should be available for all, rich and poor, boys and girls.” quote by Malala Yousafzai](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5a1/malala-yousafzai-808_administrators_education-had-been-a-great-gift-for-him_164406.jpg)
