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

The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life.

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.

The teacher's task is not to talk, but to prepare and arrange a series of motives for cultural activity in a special environment made for the child.

What we need is a world full of miracles, like the miracle of seeing the young child seeking work and independence, and manifesting a wealth of enthusiasm and love.

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

The child is truly a miraculous being, and this should be felt deeply by the educator.
