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

Sometimes very small children in a proper environment develop a skill and exactness in their work that can only surprise us.

Watch the unending activity of the flowing stream or the growing tree. See the breakers of the ocean, the unceasing movements of the earth, the planets, the sun and the stars. All creation is life, movement, work.

Education should therefore include the two forms of work, manual and intellectual, for the same person, and thus make it understood by practical experience that these two kinds complete each other and are equally essential to a civilized existence.

Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.

The first essential for the child’s development is concentration. The child who concentrates is immensely happy.

in nature everything is transformed but nothing destroyed.
