Character formation cannot be taught. It comes from experience and not from explanation.

The child should live in an environment of beauty.

The concept of an education centered upon the care of the living being alters all previous ideas. Resting no longer on a curriculum, or a timetable, education must conform to the facts of human life.

A child's character develops in accordance with the obstacles he has encountered... or the freedom favoring his development that he has enjoyed.

The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.

If children are allowed free development and given occupation to correspond with their unfolding minds their natural goodness will shine forth.

There are many who hold, as I do, that the most important part of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when a man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed. But not only his intelligence; the full totality of his psychic powers.
