When children come into contact with nature, they reveal their strength.

The role of education is to interest the child profoundly in an external activity to which he will give all his potential

There are many who hold, as I do, that the most important part of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when a man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed. But not only his intelligence; the full totality of his psychic powers.

Education demands, then, only this: the utilization of the inner powers of the child for his own instruction.

The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life.

The first idea that the child must acquire, in order to be actively disciplined, is that of the difference between good and evil.

The child, making use of all that he finds around him, shapes himself for the future.
