All human victories, all human progress, stand upon the inner force.

The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity.

The greatest sign of success for a teacher...is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist."

The first thing required of a teacher is that he be rightly disposed for his task.

The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth.

It is not the child as a physical but as a psychic being that can provide a strong impetus to the betterment of mankind. It is the spirit of the child that can determine the course of human progress and lead it perhaps even to a higher form of civilization.

Today, however, those things which occupy us in the field of education are the interests of humanity at large and of civilization, and before such great forces we can recognize only one country-the entire world.
