CHARACTER READING AN ART ACQUIRABLE BY ALL

Introduction

(Page I-4)

The problem of the age is man. The controlling element in man is the brain. The most profound mystery of the brain is its occupant, the mind, and as it is upon the variety of mind that character depends, it is in regard to the mind and its dispositions that this work is concerned.

* * * * *

The brain is a stately volume of knowledge, a library for reflection and study, a stage for the drama, both comedy and tragedy, a religious organization, a school of languages, a musical auditorium, an art institute, the home of wit and humor.

* * * * *

The mineralogist observes beauties of detail in the stones of the earth which others see not. The botanist beholds wonders in plant life which are unobserved by the world at large. The astronomer peers into the depth of the universe and contemplates the infinite, while the psychologist investigates God's greatest work, the mind.

* * * * *

The mind of man is wonderful, but the mind which can comprehend the mind of man is wonderful indeed.

* * * * *

And when the Creator decided to surpass all His great works he made man, and the greatest gift which he bestowed upon man was character.

* * * * *

A man is deemed illiterate who cannot read books, but the day is not distant when his inability to read the character of his fellowman will be considered the height of illiteracy.

* * * * *

He who can place his brain under strict control and can circumnavigate it and penetrate it, analyze it and understand it, and decide as to its precise value and merits as a brain, both individually and in comparison with other brains, has lain the foundation of true wisdom.

* * * * *

Every man, every day, is discovering himself. He is becoming acquainted more intimately with his ego. Man's brain is a mine of precious things which can constantly be brought to light by one who thinks. Thought like the X-ray penetrates to the innermost secrets of the unknown.

* * * * *

There is no occupation of greater importance to man than the study of man.

UNESCO's Director-General highlights key role of education in poverty eradication

October 17, 2003 - Poverty presents a threat to world security that affects each and every one of us, says the Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura in his message on the occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

Some three billion women and men live on less than two dollars a day. Eight million children die each year as a result of poverty. But poverty is not inevitable, Mr Matsuura added. More
