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.

Today, however, those things which occupy us in the field of education are the interests of humanity at large and of civilization, and before such great forces we can recognize only one country-the entire world.

Times have changed, and science has made great progress, and so has our work; but our principles have only been confirmed, and along with them our conviction that mankind can hope for a solution to its problems, among which the most urgent are those of peace and unity, only by turning its attention and energies to the discovery of the child and to the development of the great potentialities of the human personality in the course of its formation.

The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth.

It is necessary for the teacher to guide the child without letting him feel her presence too much, so that she may always be ready to supply the desired help, but may never be the obstacle between the child and his experience.

A child is mysterious and powerful; And contains within himself the secret of human nature.

As soon as children find something that interests them they lose their instability and learn to concentrate.
