There are many things which no teacher can convey to a child of three, but a child of five can do it with ease.

The child is truly a miraculous being, and this should be felt deeply by the educator.

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

Imagination does not become great until human beings, given the courage and the strength, use it to create.

Children are not only sensitive to silence, but also to a voice which calls them ... Out of that silence.

It is not the child as a physical but as a psychic being that can provide a strong impetus to the betterment of mankind. It is the spirit of the child that can determine the course of human progress and lead it perhaps even to a higher form of civilization.

Children become like the things they love.
