An education capable of saving humanity is no small undertaking; it involves the spiritual development of man, the enhancement of his value as an individual, and the preparation of young people to understand the times in which they live.

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

A man is not what he is because of the teachers he has had, but because of what he has done

The child’s parents are not his makers but his guardians.

No one who has ever done anything really great or successful has ever done it simply because he was attracted by what we call a 'reward' or by the fear of what we call a 'punishment.'

The child, in fact, once he feels sure of himself, will no longer seek the approval of authority after every step.

Culture and education have no bounds or limits; now man is in a phase in which he must decide for himself how far he can proceed in the culture that belongs to the whole of humanity.
