Mantra 36

“Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.”
— Samuel Johnson

A student who has good values but lacks knowledge may struggle to succeed, while a student who is intelligent but dishonest can misuse what they know. In daily life, students should aim to gain knowledge while also practicing honesty and responsibility.

Mantra 35

Melinda Gates’ quote says a strong woman is simply one who has a voice, and this means more than just being tough on the outside. It’s about speaking up for herself. Being strong means having the courage to say what you think and be who you are, instead of staying quiet or letting others hold you back. This shows that strength isn’t something only a few women have, any woman can be strong by speaking out, which helps her live a better life and makes things fairer for all women.

Mantra 34

“One of the truest tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised.”

— Chinua Achebe

The quote by Chinua Achebe means that true integrity is shown when a person refuses to give up their values, even under pressure. In a student’s daily life, this can mean not cheating, not giving in to peer pressure, and standing by what is right even if others disagree. Real integrity is proven when it is not easily changed or weakened.

Mantra 33

"Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right"

-Franklin Roosevelt

The first step to success is knowing what's right, but having the courage matters even more, even on difficult times.
True characters are shown by the choices we make, not by what we know. In the end, doing what's right matters more than just knowing it.

— Albert Einstein

Honesty in small things reflects a person’s character. If a student is careless with the truth in simple matters, others may find it hard to trust them in more serious situations. Practicing honesty every day helps build credibility and trust.
