Allow the child to be authentic, to move, to feel the way they move, appreciating them for what they are.

We not only respect babies, we demonstrate our respect every time we interact with them. Respecting a child means treating even the youngest infant as a unique human being, not as an object

When you hold an infant, hold him not just with your body, but with your mind and heart.

Let the child be the scriptwriter, the director and the actor in his own play.

An infant always learns. The less we interfere with the natural process of learning, the more we can observe how much infants learn all the time.

What infants need is the opportunity and time to take in and figure out the world around them.

Do less; observe more; enjoy most.

If infants are ready to do something, they will do it. In fact, when they are ready, they have to do it.

Sadness, discomfort, frustration -- they are all valid human emotions. Why would we want to suppress them?

Remember, nobody can make another person fall asleep. How to relax and let sleep come is a skill your child, like everybody else, must learn all by herself.

Infancy is a vulnerable stage of development, therefore, it's not enough that babies receive good care, the care must be excellent.

Family! So sorry, forgive me. I thought I'd met all the mispocheh!

I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts.

Weird: of strange or extraordinary character

I spend money on war because it is necessary, but to spend it on science, that is pleasant to me. This object costs no tears; it is an honour to humanity

In any situation, I'm going to be good.

I am allergic to domestic goddesses. Men would prefer a woman with a dirty mind to a clean house.

Sometimes it's easier to be as bad as they expect you to be.

Playing a bad guy would be fun, I'm not going to lie. I'd definitely do that in a heartbeat, because it's so out of my nature.

Being in the audience actually looks like quite a lot of fun.

Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close upon the growing boy.
