The development of the mind comes through movement

All our handling of the child will bear fruit, not only at the moment, but in the adult they are destined to become.

A child in his earliest years, when he is only two or a little more, is capable of tremendous achievements simply through his unconscious power of absorption, though he is himself still immobile. After the age of three he is able to acquire a great number of concepts through his own efforts in exploring his surroundings. In this period he lays hold of things through his own activity and assimilates them into his mind.

The real preparation for education is a study of one's self. The training of the teacher...is something far more than a learning of ideas. It includes the training of character; it is a preparation of the spirit.

Whatever is presented to him must be made beautiful and clear, striking his imagination. Once this love has been kindled, all problems confronting the educationist will disappear.

We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.

Only practical work and experience lead the young to maturity.
