Beauty lies in harmony, not in contrast; and harmony is refinement; therefore, there must be a fineness of the senses if we are to appreciate harmony.

Education, as conceived today, is something separated both from biological and social life.

in nature everything is transformed but nothing destroyed.

The child can only develop fully by means of experience in his environment. We call such experience 'work'.

We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.

The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity.

The unknown energy that can help humanity is that which lies hidden in the child.
