"All the promises that education is meant to offer will come to naught if the so called educated are characterless. If all they know is how to enrich themselves at the expense of the poor and the unschooled." ~Maximo Tumbali
"Communication takes its shape or form depending on which place or culture it is situated. Herein lies the beauty of communication. Its diversity in meaning and enunciation." ~Maximo Tumbali

"Most often it's reason that blocks us from truly loving others. When reason intrudes into the affairs of the heart the adverse result is love turning so mechanical, boring, chained, and drained of genuine and spontaneous feeling." ~Maximo Tumbali

"The lambs are very docile or tractable thanks to the new shepherd. But there are still a herd of wolves surreptitiously lingering around ready to attack. If this won't stop, time comes when the lambs will be fiercer than the wolves. And it will be more dangerous if in the end both the wolves and the lambs will be of same color. By then, the distinction between good and bad will be obliterated. And that will mean our end!" ~Maximo Tumbali

"Whether it be old or new version, what counts is your appreciation of yourself who over the years may have shed joys and tears." ~Maximo Tumbali
