The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life.

The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself.

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

Beauty lies in harmony, not in contrast; and harmony is refinement; therefore, there must be a fineness of the senses if we are to appreciate harmony.

Happiness is not the whole aim of education. A man must be independent in his powers and character; able to work and assert his mastery over all that depends on him.

Culture and education have no bounds or limits; now man is in a phase in which he must decide for himself how far he can proceed in the culture that belongs to the whole of humanity.

Plainly, the environment must be a living one, directed by a higher intelligence, arranged by an adult who is prepared for his mission.
