Let us treat them [children], therefore, with all the kindness which we would wish to help to develop in them.

The child is truly a miraculous being, and this should be felt deeply by the educator.

To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.

Deceit is a kind of garment that conceals the soul. It might even be compared to a whole wardrobe, so many are its guises.

The child should live in an environment of beauty.

The child seeks for independence by means of work; an independence of body and mind.

Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
