Let children feed on the good, the excellent, the great! Don't get in their way with little lectures, facts, and guided tours!

Do not let the endless succession of small things crowd great ideals out of sight and out of mind.

We talk of lost ideals, but perhaps they are not lost, only changed; when our ideal for ourselves and for our children becomes limited to prosperity and comfort, we get these, very likely, for ourselves and for them, but we get no more.

Education is the science of relations

Wise and purposeful letting alone is the best part of education.

We have never been so rich in books. But there has never been a generation when there is so much twaddle in print for children.

We all have need to be trained to see, and to have our eyes opened before we can take in the joy that is meant for us in this beautiful life.
