Zitat


Dr. Stephen R. Coveyauthor of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective PeopleWhat an absolutely marvelous book! Greatly needed in restoring the character ethic in a techno/materialistic-obsessed world. Character is primary greatness; prestige is secondary greatness. Extremely valuable practical resource for every parent and teacher. Great gift book.
