It is true that we cannot make a genius. We can only give to teach child the chance to fulfil his potential possibilities.

Children become like the things they love.

There is in every child a painstaking teacher so skillful that he obtains identical results in all children in all parts of the world. The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one teaches them anything.

An interesting piece of work, freely chosen, which has the virtue of inducing concentration rather than fatigue, adds to the child's energies and mental capacities, and leads him to self-mastery.

To teach details is to bring confusion; to establish the relationship between things is to bring knowledge.

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.

Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.
