Concentration is a part of life. It is not the consequence of a method of education.

Solicitous care for living things affords satisfaction to one of the most lively instincts of the child's mind. Nothing is better calculated than this to awaken an attitude of foresight.

Times have changed, and science has made great progress, and so has our work; but our principles have only been confirmed, and along with them our conviction that mankind can hope for a solution to its problems, among which the most urgent are those of peace and unity, only by turning its attention and energies to the discovery of the child and to the development of the great potentialities of the human personality in the course of its formation.

There must be provision for the child to have contact with nature; to understand and appreciate the order, the harmony and the beauty in nature.

What we need is a world full of miracles, like the miracle of seeing the young child seeking work and independence, and manifesting a wealth of enthusiasm and love.

The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.

This is the treasure we need today - helping the child become independent of us and make his way by himself, receiving in return his gifts of hope and light.
