Children are the hands by
which we take hold of heaven
The soul is healed by being with children
If we are to teach real peace in this
world, and if we are to carry on a
real war against war, we shall have
to begin with the children
No one has yet fully realized the
wealth of sympathy, kindness and
generosity hidden in the soul of a
child. The effort of every true
education should be to unlock that
treasure.
If we could destroy custom at a
blow and see the stars as a child
sees them, we should need no
other apocalypse
Children are the brightest
treasures we bring forth into this
world.
The pursuit of truth and beauty is a
sphere of activity in which we are
permitted to remain children all our lives.
We find delight in the beauty and
happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.
Do not train a child to learn by force
or harshness, but direct them to it by
what amuses their minds, so that
you may be better able to discover
with accuracy the peculiar bent of
the genius of each.
The first duty to children is to make
them happy. If you have not made
them so, you have wronged them.
No other good they may get can
make up for that.
