Nothing is created or destroyed in nature.

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

It is necessary, then, to give the child the possibility of developing according to the laws of his nature, so that he can become strong, and, having become strong, can do even more than we dared hope for him.

The child endures all things.

Children have an anxious concern for living beings, and the satisfaction of this instinct fills them with delight. It is therefore easy to interest them in taking care of plants and especially of animals. Nothing awakens foresight in a small child such as this. When he knows that animals have need of him, that little plants will dry up if he does not water them, he binds together with a new thread of love today's passing moments with those of the morrow.

Concentration is the key that opens up to the child the latent treasures within him.

The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself.
