My vision of the future is no longer of people taking exams and proceeding from secondary school to University but of passing from one stage of independence to a higher, by means of their own activity and effort of will.

At birth, the child leaves a person - his mother's womb - and this makes him independent of her bodily functions. The baby is next endowed with an urge, or need, to face the out world and to absorb it. We might say that he is born with 'the psychology of world conquest.' By absorbing what he finds about him, he forms his own personality.

An adult who does not understand that a child needs to use his hands and does not recognize this as the first manifestation of an instinct for work can be an obstacle to the child's development

Education should no longer be most imparting of knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities.

We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.

The first thing required of a teacher is that he be rightly disposed for his task.

Concentration is the key that opens up to the child the latent treasures within him.
