"If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?"
"If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men."
"We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being."
"The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!"
"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."
"The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity."
