The greatest step forward in human evolution was made when society began to help the weak and the poor, instead of oppressing and despising them.

Little children, from the moment in which they are weaned, are making their way toward independence.

All our handling of the child will bear fruit, not only at the moment, but in the adult they are destined to become.

The first essential for the child’s development is concentration. The child who concentrates is immensely happy.

The first aim of the prepared environment is, as far as it is possible, to render the growing child independent of the adult.

The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.

Only when the child is able to identify its own center with the center of the universe does education really begin.
