The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.

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

The first duty of the educator, whether he is involved with the newborn infant or the older child, is to recognize the human personality of the young being and respect it.

The study of love and its utilization will lead us to the source from which it springs, The Child.

We must support as much as possible the child's desires for activity; not wait on him, but educate him to be independent.

The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth. From this almost mystic affirmation there comes what may seem a strange conclusion: that education must start from birth.

The child, making use of all that he finds around him, shapes himself for the future.
