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.

The real preparation for education is a study of one's self. The training of the teacher...is something far more than a learning of ideas. It includes the training of character; it is a preparation of the spirit.

Giving children the opportunity to stir up life and leave it free to discover.

Today, however, those things which occupy us in the field of education are the interests of humanity at large and of civilization, and before such great forces we can recognize only one country-the entire world.

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

Play is the work of the child.

To aid life, leaving it free, however, that is the basic task of the educator.
