Education demands, then, only this: the utilization of the inner powers of the child for his own instruction.

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

The teacher, when she begins work in our schools, must have a kind of faith that the child will reveal himself through work.

The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth. From this almost mystic affirmation there comes what may seem a strange conclusion: that education must start from birth.

The child is the spiritual builder of mankind, and obstacles to his free development are the stones in the wall by which the soul of man has become imprisoned.

A new education from birth onwards must be built up. Education must be reconstructed and based on the law of nature and not on the preconceived notions and prejudices of adult society.

Bring the child to the consciousness of his own dignity and he will feel free.
