The child who concentrates is immensely happy

Order is not goodness; but perhaps it is the indispensable road to arrive at it.

To teach details is to bring confusion; to establish the relationship between things is to bring knowledge.

The first duty of the educator, whether he is involved with the newborn infant or the older child, is to recognize the human personality of the young being and respect it.

There is in every child a painstaking teacher so skillful that he obtains identical results in all children in all parts of the world. The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one teaches them anything.

All our handling of the child will bear fruit, not only at the moment, but in the adult they are destined to become.

The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.
