What advice can we give to new mothers? Their children need to work at an interesting occupation: they should not be helped unnecessarily, nor interrupted, once they have begun to do something intelligent.

Order is one of the needs of life which, when it is satisfied, produces a real happiness

As soon as children find something that interests them they lose their instability and learn to concentrate.

Character formation cannot be taught. It comes from experience and not from explanation.

This is the treasure we need today - helping the child become independent of us and make his way by himself, receiving in return his gifts of hope and light.

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

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