Florentino Hornedo

"Truth in Oriental thought is not something to learn; it is someone to become… Culture makes the world human; arts make the human better… For leaders who cannot charm their people with their greatness of soul and mastery of the human spirit cannot lead; and if they must (by whatever decree), they would with force and violence… That is why the greatest of us all should lead; and it is educating for greatness and sublimity that education must aspire. Then, the rest of the arts will do their part. For great leaders are the horizons of a nation's possibilities. And when they are not there, or when education has mediocrized all, a people can only expect the somnolence of boredom or spiritual death."
