The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination.

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.

Great tact and delicacy is necessary for the care of the mind of a child from three to six years, and an adult can have very little of it.

To have a vision of the cosmic plan, in which every form of life depends on directed movements which have effects beyond their conscious aim, is to understand the child's work and be able to guide it better.

It follows that at the beginning of his life the individual can accomplish wonders without effort and quite unconsciously.

The human hand allows the mind to reveal itself.

The first essential for the child’s development is concentration. The child who concentrates is immensely happy.
