The child becomes a person through work.

We are the sowers - our children are those who reap. We labor so that future generations will be better and nobler than we are.

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.

The development of the mind comes through movement

This is education, understood as a help to life; an education from birth, which feeds a peaceful revolution and unites all in a common aim, attracting them as to a single centre. Mothers, fathers, politicians: all must combine in their respect and help for this delicate work of formation, which the little child carries on in the depth of a profound psychological mystery, under the tutelage of an inner guide. This is the bright new hope for mankind.

Adults have not understood children or adolescents and they are, as a consequence, in continual conflict with them.

The essence of independence is to be able to do something for one’s self.
