Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.

To give a child liberty is not to abandon him to himself.

We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself; this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit.

To let the child do as he likes when he has not yet developed any powers of control is to betray the idea of freedom.

The child endures all things.

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

No one can be free unless he is independent.
