Knowledge needs to be protected.

To truly shine, it needs care and polishing. At the same time, knowledge is as changeable as life itself. It constantly evolves in an endless process that corrects mistakes and creates new understanding. It needs protection to ensure it’s there for the future.

Knowledge is an adventure.

Adventures of the mind are often more interesting than any others. Gaining knowledge is the most meaningful human activity because, in the end, all we leave behind is knowledge or ignorance, a positive or a negative, something or nothing.

Knowledge is neutral and independent.

It’s yours regardless of age, gender, race, orientation, finances, or political or religious beliefs. It accepts you as you are and never leaves you. Knowledge will be always with you, serving you faithfully all your life.

Knowledge is priceless.

It’s humanity’s most valuable asset. It took knowledge to discover electricity, for example, without which we would be living in darkness. We can never let this happen. Ignorance leads to oblivion, losing centuries of advancements and costing millions of lives. Ignorance is death, disease, and war.

Knowledge is alive and animated.

It survives through belief and hard work. While you never know what your work will result in after you’re gone, you believe others will follow and use knowledge to build upon your work. Our task is to preserve and develop the work of those who have devoted their lives to knowledge.

Knowledge is universal and qualitative.

It works anywhere and everywhere. No matter how far civilization goes, it will always stand on the shoulders of those who created, defended, and spread knowledge. We support the right of everyone to access knowledge – as well as the modern technologies that can bring knowledge to all.

Knowledge saves lives.

We see how leading professionals can grow up in poor areas and thrive because they have access to books. We know how yesterday's criminal can turn their life around when they embrace knowledge. Incurable diseases become curable, the impossible becomes possible, and everyday things gain new meaning through knowledge.
