Let us protect our children; and let us not allow them to grow up into emptiness and nothingness, to the avoidance of good hard work, to introspection and analysis without deeds, or to mechanical actions without thought and consideration. Let us steer them away from the harmful chase after material things and the damaging passion for distractions... Let us educate them to stand with their feet rooted in God's earth, but with their heads reaching even into heaven, there to behold truth.
Friedrich FrobelChildren must master the language of things before they master the language of words.
Friedrich FrobelTo learn a thing in life and through doing is much more developing, cultivating, and strengthening than to learn it merely through the verbal communication of ideas.
Friedrich FrobelChildren are like tiny flowers: They are varied and need care, but each is beautiful alone and glorious when seen in the community of peers.
