Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.

It is not enough for the teacher to love the child. She must first love and understand the universe. She must prepare herself, and truly work at it.

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

It is almost possible to say that there is a mathematical relationship between the beauty of his surroundings and the activity of the child; he will make discoveries rather more voluntarily in a gracious setting than in an ugly one.

We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are a part of the universe, and are connected with each other to form one whole unity. This idea helps the mind of the child to become fixed, to stop wandering in an aimless quest for knowledge. He is satisfied, having found the universal centre of himself with all things.

The study of love and its utilization will lead us to the source from which it springs, The Child.

The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself.
