What we need is a world full of miracles, like the miracle of seeing the young child seeking work and independence, and manifesting a wealth of enthusiasm and love Picture Quote #1

The world of education is like an island where people cut off from the world are prepared for life by exclusion from it Picture Quote #1

The first thing required of a teacher is that he be rightly disposed for his task Picture Quote #1

The objects in our system are instead a help to the child himself, he chooses what he wants for his own use, and works with it according to his own needs, tendencies and special interests. In this way, the objects become a means of growth Picture Quote #1

Culture and education have no bounds or limits; now man is in a phase in which he must decide for himself how far he can proceed in the culture that belongs to the whole of humanity Picture Quote #1

The child is the spiritual builder of mankind, and obstacles to his free development are the stones in the wall by which the soul of man has become imprisoned Picture Quote #1

As soon as children find something that interests them they lose their instability and learn to concentrate Picture Quote #1
