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

The ancient saying, "There is nothing in the intellect which was not first in some way in the senses," and senses being explorers of the world, opens the way to knowledge.

It is the child who makes the man, and no man exists who was not made by the child he once was.

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

The exercises of practical life are formative activities, a work of adaptation to the environment. Such adaptation to the environment and efficient functioning therein is the very essence of a useful education.

Education today, in this particular social period, is assuming truly unlimited importance. And the increased emphasis on its practical value can be summed up in one sentence: education is the best weapon for peace.

The child is an enigma… He has the highest potentialities, but we do not know what he will be.
