Words from the Wise

In our Heart to Heart Intergenerational Learning Programs we witness so much mutual learning and growth from our participants – regardless of the generation.

Here we have compiled a collection of our favourite quotes/pearls of wisdom we have had the joy to learn. Most come from the Grandfriends, with their wealth of life experience, others come from the younger generation and people important to them such as family and friends.

What words/mantra do you live by? What have you learned from someone important to you?
