"We try, when we wake, to lay the new day at God's feet; before we have finished shaving, it becomes our day and God's share in it is felt as a tribute which we must pay out of 'our own' pocket, a deduction from the time which ought, we feel, to be 'our own'. A man starts a new job with a sense of vocation and, perhaps, for the first week still keeps the discharge of the vocation as his end, taking the pleasures and pains from God's hand, as they came, as 'accidents'. But in the second week he is beginning to 'know the ropes': by the third, he has quarried out of the total job his own plan for himself within that job, and when he can pursue this he feels that he is getting no more than his rights, and when he cannot, that he is being interfered."

"Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed."

"Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war."
Peace
"If an educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of arbitrary tasks."

"One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child."
Happiness
"We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry."
Beauty
"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.""
Success
"The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon."
Lie
"To aid life, leaving it free, however, that is the basic task of the educator."
