The aim of education should not be to teach how to use human energies to improve the environment, for we are finally beginning to realize that the cornerstone of education is the development of the human personality, and that in this regard education is of immediate importance for the salvation of mankind.

The child is much more spiritually elevated than is usually supposed. He often suffers, not from too much work, but from work that is unworthy of him.

The activity of the child has always been looked upon as an expression of his vitality.

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.

One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.

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

Do not offer the child the content of the mind, but the order for that content.
