Great tact and delicacy is necessary for the care of the mind of a child from three to six years, and an adult can have very little of it.

To have a vision of the cosmic plan, in which every form of life depends on directed movements which have effects beyond their conscious aim, is to understand the child's work and be able to guide it better.

Within the child lies the fate of the future.

The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself.

Within the child lies the fate of the future. Whoever wishes to confer some benefit on society must preserve him from deviations and observe his natural ways of acting. A child is mysterious and powerful and contains within himself the secret of human nature.

Solicitous care for living things affords satisfaction to one of the most lively instincts of the child's mind. Nothing is better calculated than this to awaken an attitude of foresight.

A child's work is to create the person she/he will become.
