Watching a child makes it obvious that the development of his mind comes through his movements.

Plainly, the environment must be a living one, directed by a higher intelligence, arranged by an adult who is prepared for his mission.

A child is a discoverer. He is an amorphous, splendid being in search of his own proper form.

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

The child's conquests of independence are the basic steps in what is called his 'natural development'.

The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth. From this almost mystic affirmation there comes what may seem a strange conclusion: that education must start from birth.

If the idea of the universe is presented to the child in the right way, it will do more for him than just arouse his interest, for it will create in him admiration and wonder, a feeling loftier than any interest and more satisfying.
