Of all things love is the most potent.

Any child who is self-sufficient, who can tie his shoes, dress or undress himself, reflects in his joy and sense of achievement the image of human dignity which is derived from a sense of independence.

At birth, the child leaves a person - his mother's womb - and this makes him independent of her bodily functions. The baby is next endowed with an urge, or need, to face the out world and to absorb it. We might say that he is born with 'the psychology of world conquest.' By absorbing what he finds about him, he forms his own personality.

The whole of mankind is one and only one, one race, one class and one society.

The senses, being the explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.

If children are allowed free development and given occupation to correspond with their unfolding minds their natural goodness will shine forth.

Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.
