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

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

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.

It is only in retrospect that the high points of our lives rise up, flaunting banners.

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