It follows that at the beginning of his life the individual can accomplish wonders without effort and quite unconsciously.

In the psychological realm of relationship between teacher and child, the teacher's part and its techniques are analogous to those of the valet; they are to serve, and to serve well: to serve the spirit.

The more the capacity to concentrate is developed, the more often the profound tranquility in work is achieved, then the clearer will be the manifestation of discipline within the child.

Respect all the reasonable forms of activity in which the child engages and try to understand them.

The child’s progress does not depend only on his age, but also on being free to look around him.

It is not enough for the teacher to love the child. She must first love and understand the universe. She must prepare herself, and truly work at it.

The word education must not be understood in the sense of teaching but of assisting the psychological development of the child.
