The activity of the child has always been looked upon as an expression of his vitality.

Children become like the things they love.

My vision of the future is no longer of people taking exams and proceeding from secondary school to University but of passing from one stage of independence to a higher, by means of their own activity and effort of will.

If help and salvation are to come they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.

If we try to think back to the dim and distant past... what is it that helps us reconstruct those times, and to picture the lives of those who lived in them? It is their art... It is thanks to the hand, the companion of the mind, that civilization has arisen.

There must be provision for the child to have contact with nature; to understand and appreciate the order, the harmony and the beauty in nature.

There are many things which no teacher can convey to a child of three, but a child of five can do it with ease.
