It is not in human nature for all men to tread the same path of development, as animals do of a single species.

Joy is the evidence of inner growth.

We are the sowers - our children are those who reap. We labor so that future generations will be better and nobler than we are.

But if for the physical life it is necessary to have the child exposed to the vivifying forces of nature, it is also necessary for his psychical life to place the soul of the child in contact with creation.

A humankind abandoned in its earlier formative stage becomes its own greatest threat to survival.

The first idea that the child must acquire, in order to be actively disciplined, is that of the difference between good and evil.

The child, making use of all that he finds around him, shapes himself for the future.
