The child is much more spiritually elevated than is usually supposed. He often suffers, not from too much work, but from work that is unworthy of him.

Do not tell them how to do it. Show them how to do it and do not say a word. If you tell them, they will watch your lips move. If you show them, they will want to do it themselves.

The child has other powers than ours, and the creation he achieves is no small one; it is everything.

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

The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.

Every great cause is born from repeated failures and from imperfect achievements.

In nature nothing creates itself and nothing destroys itself.
