Childhood’s work is learning, and it is in his play...that the child works at his job.

Children...need most of the same things adults need--consideration, respect for their work, the knowledge that they and the things they do are taken seriously.

The most important phase of a child’s life was the beginning of it. He must be started right.

A lifetime is not too long to spend in learning about the world.

Education [is] not an end in itself but [is] the first step in a progress which should continue during a lifetime.

Childhood’s work is learning, and it is in his play...that the child works at his job.

The child, unhampered, does not waste time.
