The child is the spiritual builder of mankind, and obstacles to his free development are the stones in the wall by which the soul of man has become imprisoned.

Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.

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.

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.

The more the capacity to concentrate is developed, the more often the profound tranquility in work is achieved, then the clearer will be the manifestation of discipline within the child.

If children are allowed free development and given occupation to correspond with their unfolding minds their natural goodness will shine forth.

Love and the hope of it are not things one can learn; they are a part of life's heritage.
