The child's conquests of independence are the basic steps in what is called his 'natural development'.

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

Do not tell them how to do it. Show them how to do it and do not say a word. If you tell them, they will watch your lips move. If you show them, they will want to do it themselves.

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

The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.

Peace is what every human being is craving for, and it can be brought about by humanity through the child.

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.

The greatest sign of success for a teacher...is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist."

Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.

There must be labor, incessant and constant, if there is to be a harvest.

Every day starts, my eyes open and I reload the program of misery. I open my eyes, remember who I am, what I'm like, and I just go, 'Ugh'.

The church that preaches the gospel in all of its fullness, except as it applies to the great social ills of the day, is failing to preach the gospel.

Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud, Hatch out.

If people don't like me for whatever I do, for being me, then that's too bad. I don't want to change to be something that I'm not for other people to like me.
