For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?

One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.

The children are now working as if I did not exist.

Our goal is not so much the imparting of knowledge as the unveiling and developing of spiritual energy.

We must clearly understand that when we give the child freedom and independence, we are giving freedom to a worker already braced for action, who cannot live without working and being active.

The child, making use of all that he finds around him, shapes himself for the future.

Do not tell them how to do it. Show them how to do it and do not say a word. If you tell them, they will watch your lips move. If you show them, they will want to do it themselves.
