Life-Enriching Education: an education that prepares children to learn throughout their lives, relate well to others, and themselves, be creative, flexible, and venturesome, and have empathy not only for their immediate kin but for all of humankind.

We need empathy to give empathy.

I have tried to integrate the spirituality into the training in a way that meets my need not to destroy the beauty of it through abstract philosophizing.

To practice the process of conflict resolution, we must completely abandon the goal of getting people to do what we want.

When we fear punishment, we focus on consequences, not on our own values.

We want people to change because they see better ways of meeting their needs at less cost, not because of fear that we're going to punish them, or 'guilt' them if they don't. This applies to ourselves as well.

If we don't tell people about our needs, it is much less likely they will be met.
