The development of the individual can be described as a succession of new births at consecutively higher levels.

Education, as conceived today, is something separated both from biological and social life.

The child’s progress does not depend only on his age, but also on being free to look around him.

There must be provision for the child to have contact with nature; to understand and appreciate the order, the harmony and the beauty in nature.

A child needs freedom within limits.

Every great cause is born from repeated failures and from imperfect achievements.

When a child is given a little leeway, he will at once shout, "I want to do it!" But in our schools, which have an environment adapted to children's needs, they say, "Help me to do it alone." And these words reveal their inner needs.
