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

A man is not what he is because of the teachers he has had, but because of what he has done

The concept of an education centered upon the care of the living being alters all previous ideas. Resting no longer on a curriculum, or a timetable, education must conform to the facts of human life.

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

No adult can bear a child’s burden or grow up in his stead.

No one can be free unless he is independent. Therefore, the first active manifestations of the child's individual liberty must be so guided that through this activity he may arrive at independence.

The world of education is like an island where people cut off from the world are prepared for life by exclusion from it.
