The study of love and its utilization will lead us to the source from which it springs, The Child.

The whole of mankind is one and only one, one race, one class and one society.

The first idea that the child must acquire, in order to be actively disciplined, is that of the difference between good and evil.

A child is an eager observer and is particularly attracted by the actions of the adults and wants to imitate them. In this regard an adult can have a kind of mission. He can be an inspiration for the child's actions, a kind of open book wherein a child can learn how to direct his own movements. But an adult, if he is to afford proper guidance, must always be calm and act slowly so that the child who is watching him can clearly see his actions in all their particulars.

The adult ought never to mold the child after himself, but should leave him alone and work always from the deepest comprehension of the child himself.

Education must start from birth.
