Bring the child to the consciousness of his own dignity, and he will be free. We see no limit to what should be offered to the child, for his will be an immense field of chosen activity.

We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.

These words reveal the child’s inner needs; ‘Help me to do it alone’.

The child endures all things.

Education should therefore include the two forms of work, manual and intellectual, for the same person, and thus make it understood by practical experience that these two kinds complete each other and are equally essential to a civilized existence.

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

No one can help us to achieve the intimate isolation by which we find our secret worlds, so mysterious, rich and full. If others intervene, it is destroyed. This degree of thought, which we attain by freeing ourselves from the external world, must be fed by the inner spirit, and our surroundings cannot influence us in any way other than to leave us in peace.
