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

Education, as conceived today, is something separated both from biological and social life.

Nothing is created or destroyed in nature.

Mental development must be connected with movement and be dependent on it. It is vital that educational theory and practice should be informed by that idea.

To stimulate life, leaving it then free to develop, to unfold, herein lies the first task of the teacher.

We must clearly understand that when we give the child freedom and independence, we are giving freedom to a worker already braced for action, who cannot live without working and being active.

One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.
