The development of the mind comes through movement

Imagination does not become great until human beings, given the courage and the strength, use it to create.

Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.

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

Nothing is created or destroyed in nature.

Movement, or physical activity, is thus an essential factor in intellectual growth, which depends upon the impressions received from outside. Through movement we come in contact with external reality, and it is through these contacts that we eventually acquire even abstract ideas.

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.
