It is the child who makes the man, and no man exists who was not made by the child he once was.

There are many who hold, as I do, that the most important part of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when a man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed. But not only his intelligence; the full totality of his psychic powers.

Education must start from birth.

The world of education is like an island where people cut off from the world are prepared for life by exclusion from it.

Love and the hope of it are not things one can learn; they are a part of life's heritage.

When the child goes out, it is the world itself that offers itself to him. Let us take the child out to show him real things instead of making objects which represent ideas and closing them up in cupboards.

Concentration is the key that opens up to the child the latent treasures within him.
