There is in the child a special kind of sensitivity which leads him to absorb everything about him, and it is this work of observing and absorbing that alone enables him to adapt himself to life

Children are not only sensitive to silence, but also to a voice which calls them ... Out of that silence.

The essence of independence is to be able to do something for one’s self. Adults work to finish a task, but the child works in order to grow, and is working to create the adult, the person that is to be. Such experience is not just play... it is work he must do in order to grow up.

The development of the mind comes through movement

Preventing war is the work of politicians, establishing peace is the work of educationists.

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

We are the sowers - our children are those who reap. We labor so that future generations will be better and nobler than we are.
