Education should no longer be most imparting of knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities.

The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!

If the idea of the universe is presented to the child in the right way, it will do more for him than just arouse his interest, for it will create in him admiration and wonder, a feeling loftier than any interest and more satisfying.

The greatest sign of success for a teacher...is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist."

It is not in human nature for all men to tread the same path of development, as animals do of a single species.

We are the sowers - our children are those who reap. We labor so that future generations will be better and nobler than we are.

To aid life, leaving it free, however, that is the basic task of the educator.
