An adult who does not understand that a child needs to use his hands and does not recognize this as the first manifestation of an instinct for work can be an obstacle to the child's development

To teach details is to bring confusion; to establish the relationship between things is to bring knowledge.

To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.

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.

Order is ... the true key to rapidity of reaction.

Discipline must come through liberty.

Work is necessary; it can be nothing less than a passion; a person is happy in accomplishment.
