Running a school where the students all succeed, even if some students have to help others to make the grade, is good preparation for democracy.

The more a person perceives that he/she is loved, the less they will interfere with the lives of others.

If everyone could learn that what is right for me does not make it right for anyone else, the world would be a much happier place.

To focus on discipline is to ignore the real problem: We will never be able to get students (or anyone else) to be in good order if, day after day, we try to force them to do what they do not find satisfying.

The faster you go, the more students you leave behind. It doesn't matter how much or how fast you teach. The true measure is how much students have learned.

Everybody needs one essential friend.

The day we stop playing will be the day we stop learning.
