Plainly, the environment must be a living one, directed by a higher intelligence, arranged by an adult who is prepared for his mission.

If help and salvation are to come they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.

Freedom in intellectual work is found to be the basis of internal discipline.

The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child's own natural desire to learn.

Bring the child to the consciousness of his own dignity, and he will be free. We see no limit to what should be offered to the child, for his will be an immense field of chosen activity.

Discipline must come through liberty.

The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.
