“We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.”

“All that is not given is lost.”

“We are possessed by the things we possess. When I like an object, I always give it to someone. It isn't generosity-it's only because I want others to be enslaved by objects, not me.”

“The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child's own natural desire to learn.”

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

“Let the children be free; encourage them; let them run outside when it is raining; let them remove their shoes when they find a puddle of water; and when the grass of the meadows is wet with dew, let them run on it and trample it with their bare feet; let them rest peacefully when a tree invites them to sleep beneath its shade; let them shout and laugh when the sun wakes them in the morning.”

“To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.”
