in nature everything is transformed but nothing destroyed.

One of the great problems facing men is their failure to realize the fact that a child possesses an active psychic life even when he cannot manifest it, and that the child must secretly perfect this inner life over a long period of time.

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

We must support as much as possible the child's desires for activity; not wait on him, but educate him to be independent.

Imitation is the first instinct of the awakening mind.

A child in his earliest years, when he is only two or a little more, is capable of tremendous achievements simply through his unconscious power of absorption, though he is himself still immobile. After the age of three he is able to acquire a great number of concepts through his own efforts in exploring his surroundings. In this period he lays hold of things through his own activity and assimilates them into his mind.

No adult can bear a child’s burden or grow up in his stead.
