The adult ought never to mold the child after himself, but should leave him alone and work always from the deepest comprehension of the child himself.

A child is mysterious and powerful; And contains within himself the secret of human nature.

Discipline must come through liberty.

Children must grow not only in the body but in the spirit, and the mother longs to follow the mysterious spiritual journey of the beloved one who to-morrow will be the intelligent, divine creation, man.

The laws governing the universe can be made interesting and wonderful to the child, more interesting even that things in themselves, and he begins to ask: What am I? What is the task of man in this wonderful universe? Do we merely live here for ourselves, or is there something more for us to do? Why do we struggle and fight? What is good and evil? Where will it all end?

Social grace, inner discipline and joy. These are the birthright of the human being who has been allowed to develop essential human qualities.

The child will reveal himself through work.
