Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.
Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
Joy, feeling one’s own value, being appreciated and loved by others, feeling useful and capable of production are all factors of enormous value for the human soul.
The child seeks for independence by means of work; an independence of body and mind.
Human dignity ... is derived from a sense of independence.
Watch the unending activity of the flowing stream or the growing tree. See the breakers of the ocean, the unceasing movements of the earth, the planets, the sun and the stars. All creation is life, movement, work.
