Children learn eagerly and well when they have need of the knowledge.
Education [is] not an end in itself but [is] the first step in a progress which should continue during a lifetime.
The most important phase of a child’s life was the beginning of it. He must be started right.
The child, unhampered, does not waste time.
A lifetime is not too long to spend in learning about the world.
The freest child is the child who is most interested in what he is doing, and at whose hand are the materials for his work or play.
