No social problem is as universal as the oppression of the child
Growth comes from activity, not from intellectual understanding.
Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.
We seek to sow life in the child rather than theories, to help him in his growth, mental and emotional as well as physical, and for that we must offer grand and lofty ideas to the human mind.
A child's work is to create the person she/he will become.
He does it with his hands, by experience, first in play and then through work. The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence.
