Hello:
Can you recommend a book for me?

The Principal is in dire need of a book of aspirations/quotations that can be used as a mission statement, for teacher-team building, as quotes/themes on the newsletters, parental letters etc.

The Principal is not knowledgeable about apologetics so she uses any quotes that sound ‘nice’ including quotes from those who virulenlty teach against Christianity and the Church

The audience is parents and elementary school kids

The book quotations should illustrate Cardinal/Theological Virtues plus the Gifts/Fruits of the Holy Spirit.

This way, if she needs a quote on ‘Perseverance’ she can look up the virtue and find a quote simply and quickly without researching the author.

Ideally, the book would feature Catholics and nonChristians with examples like Albert Einstein, Dr MLK Jr, etc

The Principal put a questionable quote in a school letter from an author who was a lifelong philosopher against Christian teaching and she suggested I find a book for her.

The criteria is a book that a 3rd grader could write a book report about the author. Ex: Margaret Sanger quote is not appropriate for a 3rd grader but Daili Lama is.

Do you have a suggestion for me?
