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

The essence of independence is to be able to do something for one’s self.

No adult can bear a child’s burden or grow up in his stead.

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.

A vital force is active in every individual and leads it towards its own evolution.

The ‘absorbent mind’ welcomes everything, puts its hope in everything, accepts poverty equally with wealth, adopts any religion and the prejudices and habits of its countrymen, incarnating all in itself. This is the child!

Only practical work and experience lead the young to maturity.
