Our goal is not so much the imparting of knowledge as the unveiling and developing of spiritual energy.

The greatest sign of success for a teacher...is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist."

No one can be free unless he is independent. Therefore, the first active manifestations of the child's individual liberty must be so guided that through this activity he may arrive at independence.

Respect all the reasonable forms of activity in which the child engages and try to understand them.

The first idea that the child must acquire, in order to be actively disciplined, is that of the difference between good and evil.

Character formation cannot be taught. It comes from experience and not from explanation.
